4th Birthday - Fruity Treasure Hunt

30 pictures for you

The necklaces divided the kids up into 3 teams.
Pink Team
Orange Team
Green Team
We sent them on a walk while we hid the map clue eggs.

I took this picture at full zoom.
They were really, really FAR down the road.

Then they had to stop and talk to the neighbor's horse.
There were 3 colors of eggs.
Each team had to find 12 eggs of their own team color.






The orange team finished first.
One Green egg and one pink egg had been hid on one of the cars ...
and I told the kids none were hid on the cars.
Slight misunderstanding ... but it took us a while to find those 2.
Even though they were VERY easy to see.
Once they had all of the clues.
They glued their puzzle pieces together to find their map
to their treasure!

The treasure was fruit.
The kids got to wash, peel, chop, and make
fruit salad.
The fruit was "mostly" the color of their team.

meanwhile
We found the last two eggs,
and the younger two teams got to puzzle their maps together.



The orange team was in the school room.
The green team was in MY kitchen.
And the pink team was in Aunt Viv's kitchen.

We tried to pick "easy" fruit.


Younger kids used "butter" knives.
And the older ones had parring knives.
They did a splendid job.
And then we ate the 3 bowls of fruit instead of ice cream
with Rue's cake.
