Reply to comment by mattrhere in LPT: If you are hurting this year for money and you don't have a lot for your kids for Christmas/holidays, hide what the gifts you have, make a treasure hunt with clues and riddles, and stretch it out to give them a great experience. by pinheadbrigade

Mine did it for Easter! She hid our baskets and wrote these really incredible rhyming clues. Absolutely loved it

So did mine! But instead of clues there was a string and I had to follow it all over the house, outside, back in the house, back outside until I found the basket. Me, my sister, and cousins all loved that

Love doing this for Easter. Last year my 8 year old found an egg different from the rest hidden in the backyard, with a rhyming clue that led to eight other similar eggs, with the rhyming slips rolled up in a set of cheap but pretty jeweled rings. The final egg was a golden one the size of a grapefruit buried in our sandbox that had led light strips for my daughters room. I regret the blinding light show every night before bed, but she’s still talking about the egg hunt that rabbit sent her on.

I used to do this for Easter baskets, too! Probably not all rhyming but definitely tried to make it interesting!
