Birthday Scavenger Hunt

I made this birthday scavenger hunt for Brady’s 4th birthday this year.  I decided to stay home from work and we would spend the day spending time together.   Since his and Paityn’s birthdays are only two weeks apart we had their party together the weekend prior.

After I finally convinced him to come to the table and try some of the pancakes I made from scratch (only because I was out of the box stuff) he found the note I left:  “Today is your birthday and we think you’re really sweet.  So follow these 5 clues to find a special birthday treat.”

I read it to him and of course he was instantly excited!  Treasure hunts are so much fun.

The first clue I handed him led him to the kitchen sink and from there we went all around the house and finally into the laundry room where his present was waiting for him on top of the dryer with a note.

1. Since you just had breakfast, let’s go get a drink.  Your next clue will be waiting in the sink.
2. I wonder where your next clue is, let’s go and take a look.  I think it might be hiding inside your favorite book.
3. You did it!  You found the clue!  The next one might be hiding inside your tennis shoes.
4. Wow!  You’re really good at this, so here’s a harder one.  This clue is waiting in the place that you have fun.
5. Time to get your present.  Ok, here we go.  It’s patiently waiting for you where we dry our clothes.
6. Here is your birthday gift.  Hope it packs a punch.  Have a fantastic birthday – we love you oh so much.

I loved adding a little something extra to his gift.  I want my kids to always remember their birthdays as special days where we celebrated their life and how happy we are they’re here.
