Happy St. Patrick's Day! I wanted to do something fun and out of the ordinary today with my kiddos, so I put together a little treasure hunt. I thought it'd be fun, but I didn't expect my oldest (who is 4 years old) to want to do it again right away! Awesome! It was pretty simple (and inexpensive) to put together, and I'll definitely be doing something like it again. Here are the details:
- I found these cute clue cutouts online (at thecraftingchicks.com). You can print already made clues, or blank ones and write your own. (I chose to write my own, since my kiddos are a little young to make sense of tricky clues.)
- I made a treasure box from a small shoebox by covering it in kraft paper and decorating it a bit.
- I filled the treasure box with a few little trinkets from a party store, like stickers and other goodies, and hid the clues around the house while the kiddos weren't looking.
- Off on the hunt! Here's my oldest using her magnifying glass to hunt for clues. (She got really into it!)
I'm so glad I took the time to put this together...it was really fun, and so cute to see my kids so excited to find the next clue.
Have you ever done a treasure hunt at home?
What other fun St. Patrick's Day activities do you do with your little ones?
