The first item found was found by Scout alone, which was a stick of Wrigley's Double Mint gum. Later on, both Jem and Scout found a ball of gray twine, two bars of soap made in effigy of Jem and Scout, a package of Chewing Gum, a spelling contest medal, and a pocket watch that didn't run on a chain with an aluminum knife. The pocket watch was the last item in the tree before Nathan Radley filled it with cement.
The children find two ceramic figures that resemble Jem and Scout in the hidden tree in the Radley yard. This discovery reinforces the idea that Boo Radley has been watching over them and cares for their well-being.
Two homemade dolls, one girl, one boy carved out of soap.
2 Indian head coins, one from 1900, and one from 1916.
2 sticks of gum.
A pocket knife.
A spelling bee medal from way back when Maycomb had spelling bees so the "giver of the gifts" had to be older than Scout and Jem.

A present for the children in the tree

Nathan Radley fills the hole in the tree where gifts are placed with cement to keep Boo from communicating with the children.
Yes, in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird," Jem finds a broken pocket watch in the knothole of the Radley tree, not a stopwatch. This discovery is significant as it marks the first tangible connection between the children and Boo Radley.
Scout and Jem found gum, Indian-head pennies, a ball of twine, soap dolls, and a spelling bee medal in the knothole of the Radley oak tree. The children were certain the trinkets were for them because they had previously left gifts in the knothole and noticed that the items left there were things the kids might like or need. It felt like a hidden connection and secret exchange between them and Boo Radley.
Yes, there is a connection. The object in the Radley tree, which is a pair of carved soap figures resembling Jem and Scout, is symbolic of Boo Radley reaching out to the children. Jem finding his torn trousers after leaving them caught on the Radley fence reflects Boo's protective nature towards them. Both instances highlight Boo's caring presence in their lives.
Nathan Radley seals the knot-hole in the tree in front of the Radley place because he believes it is a bad influence on Boo Radley and wants to cut off communication between Boo and the children. He fills the hole with cement to prevent gifts being left for Boo.
Yes, Boo Radley left Jem and Scout two Indian head pennies in a hidden knothole of a tree in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This act shows Boo's kindness and desire to connect with the children.
In chapter 4 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout learns how to read with the help of her father, Atticus, and her neighbor, Miss Maudie. In chapter 5, Scout and Jem find gifts hidden in a knothole of a tree near the Radley house, sparking curiosity about Boo Radley.
The tree with a knothole in "To Kill a Mockingbird" symbolizes hidden treasures and acts as a place where Boo Radley can subtly communicate with Scout and Jem. It also represents empathy, understanding, and the innocence of childhood.
