Hidden Treasures

Here's another spin on the scavenger hunt theme. Fill a small jar with sugar, and put little things inside for your young one to find. Screw the lid on tight and give them a checklist they can cross off as they find each thing. This is a good one for a restaurant, a car ride, airport, or any other place where you'd love to have them sit sorta still. And for scientific reasons that continue to elude me, putting a penny inside is fun and impossible to find. I don't quite understand where it goes, but it never comes out of the middle of the sugar for a peek.
