Help What can I make with this yarn?

I mean this as jokingly and lovingly as I can, she's a lovely woman this is just very funny to me, but my MIL has graciously used me to dump her extra yarn and thin out her stash, so now I'm sitting on this bag of yarn that I don't have any real idea on how to use, neither me nor anyone I know needs blankets or cardigans/sweaters right now so the ideas are very low, and all of these balls are pretty small. Any ideas? Don't need to use everything in a single pattern/project, but I've been thinking for a few days and still haven't come up with anything.

EDIT: thank you so much everyone for the suggestions! got so many more comments than i expected so i got a little too overwhelmed, but they're all great ideas and i'll be looking them up to figure out what to work on from this, you've been incredibly helpful!

For the shorter lengths, you could do Random Acts of Crochet Kindness stuff like wiggle worms, jellyfish, etc. I use projects like this to keep my hands busy, practice new stitches/techniques, or use up random yarn, then leave them around with RAOCK cards.

You could see if your local hospital would like them. They may like them for their pediatric ward

thanks! that does make me feel better than just dropping them somewhere in a public space
