Found in toy box by my youngster. Can you identify? Worried it looks like some sort of Widow. Looks juvenile, so worried many more where this one came from. Last photo for scale in sink. ~ thank you

This is Steatoda triangulosa - see http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/resources/triangulatespider.shtml. It belongs to the same family (Theridiidae) as the widow spiders, but it not only is harmless to humans, it eats a lot of other spiders!
