A little about this puzzle

At a cold preparation table for the Lantern Festival, a child carries an uncooked rice ball in a wide wooden spoon. A parent steadies a shallow plate resting on the table. An ingredient cabinet, dough bowl, and sink complete the family kitchen. Search for the wooden spoon, shallow plate, flour sieve, child's small apron, dough bowl, and hand towel. Rice balls are part of the activity, not separate search targets.
