I have never dropped a treasure hunt on my kids as well as others that had not brought a tremendous amount of joy to them.

They are always beyond excited any day and time that you tell them "Hey kids, I hid a bunch of cool things around the house, go find them!" Their faces light up and their kabooses are lit. Watch them eagerly pursue treasures while using their minds to figure out where they could possibly be.

Do yourself and your kids a favor, make time for a random treasure hunt. The trick is to be sure you have more than enough cool items so that no kid is left unsatisfied with their finds.

Also, if you don't have it don't worry. It's the game that gets them not necessarily the quality or quantity of treasure. So light the dollar store up for much fun with as little as $10 dollars. Perefect for in home days when kids get bored. or when your little one has had a hard day or isn't feeling so great emotionally. Even if they are all alone, believe me when I say they will have tons of fun! So get up and get your goodies mom and dad. Have together time fun...
