Treasure!

On a cold wet afternoon I prepared this while the boys napped. I colored pics of items I knew they would recognize on cards and hid them in order around the apartment. Then I prepared a treasure map, which the boys knew all about after watching a treasure themed Blues Clues.

I gave them the first card…

With a little direction they picked up on the idea of how to follow each clue to the next one.

This card led to their favorite furry friend…

Ren found the next clue- Mr.Potato Head…

But Sam fished out the next clue card…

As each clue was found we added it to our map until X marked the spot…

They were so excited their big car was a clue that they wanted to ride around… 

…rather than check the truck, where two lollipops were hidden!

Yum! Treasure.
