Make a hidden treasure map for your child. Draw the map on a piece of construction paper. Put some lines, symbols and simple directions on it. Glue pictures (cut from a magazine) on the map. When the glue dries, roll the map up and put a ribbon or a rubber band around it.
Present the treasure map to your child and say, “See if you can follow the directions to find the hidden treasure.” Have a small toy, a new package of crayons, a container of Play Doh, or a healthy snack waiting for your child!
