Rain Rain Go Away....

Well Folks...
It's rainy and cloudy here in Chicago. So let's talk about a fun activity and craft the kids can do inside and that you can do with them. This one sounds like so much fun and now I totally wish I was little so I could do it myself!

Play Treasure Hunters!
If you have any fun pirate stuff around the house let your kids wear it for their fun adventure. But there is an easy craft below that they will love! Stash various clues around the house, depending on their age group. Make sure that each clue has a little piece of paper that leads your child to the next clue. They will love this and have so much fun. At the end of the hunt have a buried treasure. Maybe a fun movie, that you already have and a bag of popcorn. After their exploring they will be beat and ready for a movie and some popcorn. To get the kids ready make sure they have a good healthy lunch. You can pair their lunch with our cute Pirate placemat from Mypersonalizedprint.com. It will get them in the pirate/treasure hunting mind frame.

Craft:
Want to make a cute eye patch for the kids to wear while hunting for their treasure?
What you will need-
-Black construction paper
-Scissors
-Elastic or ribbon

1. Cut out an eye patch shape, you can find one on google, to fit your child's eye.
2. Cut slits into each side of the eye patch. Make sure they are not too big.
3. Put the elastic or ribbon through the slits in the eye patch. Make sure to fit it to the size of your child's head.
4. Tie the ribbon or elastic into knots on each end once it is through the slits.
5. Have fun!
