Argh! Shiver me timbers, Monday is Talk like a Pirate Day, so I offer a thematic scavenger search for bit kids.
Some people may tell you that to be a pirate, all you requirement is an eye patch. Or a parrot. Or a peg leg. however in my house, all you truly requirement is the head scarf (and please, don’t phone call it a ribbon!) Holden got this bit attire as part of a pirate-themed birthday celebration he attended. as well as thankfully Milo got a matching ensemble.
When we want to indulge our inner pirate, we don’t requirement to go any type of additionally than the home since a scavenger search can be as simple as you want to make it.
My buddy Sunny states that she as well as her then-four-year old might wile away the minutes with their indoor hunts:
I make a listing of things around the home (mirror, refrigerator, etc.) as well as ask him to discover these things, then he crosses them off the paper. I try to difficulty him a bit by saying, “where do you see your reflection?”, “what keeps the food cold?”. You get the picture. He likes to cross things out. We did this day for about 1/2 hour.
If believing of home products is not your specialty, I have a short listing for you to adapt (oh yeah, worth noting, these are things you FIND, not things you get hold of as well as put in a box) — make it longer or shorter based on what your youngster can handle:
bathroom mirror (where do you see your reflection when you clean your teeth?)
refrigerator (what keeps our food cold?)
front door (where do we leave the house?)
kitchen sink (where do we laundry the dishes?)
