A Treasure Hunt!

I was supposed to get this done last month when we were studying explorers…

Better late then never, right?

I had grand plans on putting together an elaborate treasure hunt for them but in reality I just woke up and wrote out directions.

I knew it was either now or never.

They had to know how to use a compass and what direction the sun sets and rises.

We have an animal tracks kit.

I wanted to use the littleĀ  footprints that came with it to make them in the ground but none of the footprints were showing up in our dirt.

I just laid it on top and gave up…

They still got it and enjoyed it so no big deal!

They found the treasure!

Yes, it is chocolate.

I find treasure and chocolate to be pretty much the same thing…

Don’t worry I kept some back for myself before putting it in the treasure box.
