So here's what I do...
I print out the page that has the clues on it. Then I tape them to the gifts with the numbers easy to see. Then I put them in the hiding places in the correct order. I tried to do them out of order the first time and it was ALL mixed up! So the order is important.
Here are Caleb and his cousin/ sisters doing his 8th birthday treasure hunt this morning...
The above note says...
Happy Birthday our shredder, now you are 8! Getting so big and growing so great! A treasure hunt is the thing we will do. To celebrate and say Happy Birthday to YOU!! So here’s your first clue, our little Master. Look under Rebekah’s dresser!
1. You found that so fast! You think this is cool? Look next where you sit for school!
2. Now that was too easy. On the TV is where you’ll find the next clue!
3. You think this is easy? Let’s make one not so. To the right of the piano is where you should go!
4. Way to go! Are you getting tired? You’ll find the next one on top of the dryer!
5. You found another! Where does Junior go when he needs a good scrub? You’ll find your next clue in the bathtub!
6. You got it! Do you need a rest? Well now you must look in Mom’s door in the big desk!
7. Grab your coat, do you know where? That’s right, check next in the closet under the stairs!5. You found another! Where does Junior go when he needs a good scrub? You’ll find your next clue in the bathtub!
6. You got it! Do you need a rest? Well now you must look in Mom’s door in the big desk!
I love seeing Caleb dive into the closet on this one! |
8. You found the last one! We hope you had fun. We love you so much our precious son!
Happy, Happy Birthday!! Love, Mom, Dad and your sisters.
