Recipe for a Treasure Hunt

Ingredients:
1 old sock, preferably without a match
10 large rocks collected from walks of past
1 bottle of green paint
2 popsicles
Instructions:
1. Put kids down to nap, then collect old rocks and paint them your kid's favorite color.
2. Once dry, "hide" them along your gravel road.
3. When that all-to-short nap time is over, announce there will be a treasure hunt, hand out old sock and let them loose down the road, guiding them to the blatant large colored rocks along the road.
4. When finished, count your pieces of treasure, then cash them in for a popsicle reward.

In goes a rock....

Digging for treasure

Another one...

Little Sister didn't quite get the game, but collected a handful of treasure of her own.
