New: secure your halloween box
Preparation
Each item is marked with a Number. Look out for the sticker! Place them all outside the box for better visibility.
Use the "Map sheet of paper" (item 1) and draw the room/ area (if outdoor) draw important marks ( sofa, tree, fireplace) etc. and draw the final area where you will hide the treasure.
--> Rip the map into 8 pieces and you have your 8 cluesThe clues don`t have to be logically connected. They might also win a clue from you -when- for example - they solve a riddle or win a game.
Hide the first clue in a shoe/ cupboard/ shoe rack
Fill the Pinata with some sweets and add one piece of the Map
Pot and wooden Spoon for blindfolded Pot game
Get a white A4 paper and draw ( using the secret ink pen - item 2) an Arrow that shows in the direction where you will hide another clue. Kids have to find out that they have to use the pen light to make it visible. ( For this you will add other items amongst the pen, such as a cup, a fruit and a toy- to make them guess which of the toys will help them "illuminate" the paper.
On a blanket ( when in the park) or on a table - prepare the Masks (item 3) and the tattoos( item 4) and a bowl with water and towel for the tattoos
in the corner of the table prepare (for later) the wooden crafts.
Hide the treasure
--> Take (item 5) the treasure box and add in the beads (item 6) - it is everything needed for the last craft. You can also add in sweets. Hide it somewhere under a blanket / under the sofa/ outdoors behind the tree and mark it with some of the glitter tape with a big X.Prepare the "Take home bags" (Item 7) so that the kids can fill it with what they craft, what they find in the pinata, treasure and any extras you would like to add.
Hang the "Throw Banner" (item 9) in a door frame with the double sided tape (Item 8) ( if outdoors ( a tree) between 2 chairs, or simply held by an adult
