If you're anything like me, you love a good scavenger hunt, and you enjoy entertaining your kids (and yourself!).
One issue my friends and I have come across is running out of creative ways to hide clues. A lot of us - I'm one of them - have a certain creative wall that we hit when it comes to the hunts, and our children expect us to be fun and creative EVERY time, not just in the beginning.
Some of the things we've come up with regarding hiding the clues is to hide them in strange, uncommon places. A typical place would be outside next to a tree, for example. Once we've done that, we can't do it again...so how about scraping some bark off the tree, putting the clue behind it, and gluing the bark back on?? They'll never expect it.
Another thing we've done is hide the clue in the refrigerator. Easy, right? What about the next time? Well, take a small plastic sandwich bag and actually hide the clue INSIDE the food (pickle jar, ketchup bottle, etc.). It sounds crazy and more than a little messy, but your kids will appreciate the nuttiness of it!
I have one final tip for you today. We've all hidden clues inside the dryer, right? Well, how about hiding it inside the lint catcher? Just think: this will give your children practice at actually paying attention to the lint filter, so once they're teenagers, they REMEMBER that it's THERE and you won't have to constantly remind them to empty it!
Have fun!
