They don't have to be too specific - a picture of a teddy or a clock can send them all over the house. It's a nice game to play with just one child - not too competitive!

Each clue was a limerick and led to the next clue, but they weren't explicit. They were hints and the girls had to figure out what they meant. The most fun one was pinned to her one-year-old sister's back. In the end it led to a punchbowl of goodie bags for each girl: markers, sketchbooks, paints. My daughter liked it so much she did the same for me for Mother's Day! Great fun! We had a treasure hunt for my oldest daughter’s eighth birthday.
