Treasure Hunt

I've been trying to come up with a list of fun {inexpensive} activities to keep the littles entertained

this summer {or anytime really!}. 

So awhile back I was thinking that a treasure hunt might be kind of fun.

I started collecting little, inexpensive items that the girls might enjoy ~

candies, bubbles, princess tattoos, stamps . . .

stuffed them all into an old plastic ice cream container . . .

dug a hole . . .

and buried "the treasure"



Then I wrote out a few "clues" and hid them around the property.





Each clue led to the next, and, finally, the X marks the spot ;) 
Complete with shovels for digging.



They were so excited to have finally found the treasure!





I'm pretty sure it wasn't the super cool "treasure" ;)  It was the fun of the "hunt". 

Try it with your littles!

And if you have any great summer ideas, let me know.  We're composing our list!!
