I wanted to post this entry last nite tapi 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' was on tv last nite so ter'glued' pulak kat depan tv tu until late. Padahal dah berapa kali tengok that movie, but disebabkan Brad and Ange look so cute together in that movie, sanggup tengok lagi tu, hehehehe.


During Easter season ni, the shops have been selling loads and loads of chocolates in the shapes of Bunnies and eggs. I love it when they have Easter celebration and Christmas because masa ni lah they have chocolates galore at the shops. And they best time to buy the chocolates is after Easter and Christmas sbb they'll reduce it down to 50-75% off. Memang kenyang chocolates lah we all everyday sampai berbulan2 after that! And I wonder why my weight will increase during this time, hehehehe....


Anyway, sempena chocolates galore season ni, last nite I made up a treasure chocolate egg hunt for the Little Misses around the house. I ingat nak buat during the day but it was so hot yesterday so kalau I letak the chocs outside, memanglah akan melt before the Little Misses find them! And they wanted to have it at night time anyway becuase they said, "We can use the torch Mummy to find the treasures, it will be much more interesting!" I spent about 30 minutes pagi semalam mencari idea to write the clues for the treasure hunt. Then when they went out to the park in the evening, I hid the clues and the chocolates around the house. I had to make sure yang the clues are not too hard and easy enough for Miss 5 as well. I'm going to put up the clues that I've written here so I can reuse/rewrite them for the next egg hunt. To make life easier for me kan so I don't have to think hard next time, hehehe....


The Little Misses reading the first clue.....
They took turns in reading the clues, Miss 5 was so happy because she could read them as well :-).

The first clue:

"From the dining room door, take 3 steps outside and 12 steps to the right...
Unjumble NOMEL RETE
Sometimes birds build their nests in it"

It took them quite a long time to find the next clue among the branches, hehehehe... Daddy had to help as well. Torch sikit nya besar pun tak jumpa ;-).

The next clue:

"I'm a little _ _ _ _ _ _, short and stout, here is my handle, here is my spout
Find me and you will find some treasures inside me."

Habis my cabinet kena gelodah to find the teapot. :-)

The next clue:

"The rabbit and the deer are hiding in the scented grass..
Find us to find the next clue."
Kesian diaorang kena cari the rabbit choc and the deer choc among the lemongrass leaves, hehehe.....

The next clue:

"I rhyme with link, under my belly you will find an upside down thing..
Look inside me and you will see...."
Luckily Miss nearly 10 got it, so they quickly ran to the kitchen's sink :-).

The next clue:

"Surprise!!! The treasure is still hidden somewhere else :-).
This machine used to help Mummy and Daddy from fat to thin...."
After finding the clue and the eggs stuck to the eliptical machine, Miss 5 ran because she's read the next clue which says...

The next clue:

"I help you sleep at night,
You listen to me in bed
Look behind me and you'll see some eggs instead"

Tak sempat pulak nak ambil gambar Miss 5 finding the egg behind the radio in their room.

The next clue:

"Go into the room where Polly Pocket and her friends live
In the closet where they live, look inside the third drawer
What can you see? Flip through them for the hidden treasure"

Nearing the end of the treasure hunt, their bag is already full with chocolates, hehehe..

The next clue:

"Have you found all the treasures?
Why don't you relax now and sit on the futon...
Look Left, Look Right, Look Left, Look Right, Look Under Me....
Can you see what I see?"

Miss 5 reading

The next clue:

"Listen closely.....
Can you hear the phone ringing?
Find me quickly before I stop singing!"

I hid the house phone with the rest of the treasures so the Little Misses had to follow the sound of the phone ringing, hehehe

I think they really enjoyed solving the clues and finding all the chocs last nite. They better be because that's it for their entertainment and activities this school holidays! Hahahahahaha....

CikMat,

Masz,
Nasib baik lah benda2 berbisa lari jauh2 mlm tadi sbb tak tahan dengar si Alya n Zahra bising sgt,wehehehe...Tp mmng nmpk sgt diaorang seronok giler :-).

Kak Ain,
memang betul, nak cari idea tu semlm mmng pening jugak lah sekejap. Dah lah rumah sekangkang kera aje so tak bnyk tmpatlah nak hide :-). Itu pokok lemon, mmng tgh lebat berbuah skrg tp still green, ntah bila nak yellow tu.

Kak Azah,
wahahaha, Lagi susah rasanya nak write up clues for high school kids ni kan. Kena buat yang challenging sikit, or else they'll get so bored kan... Good luck anyway ye,hehehe

lemongrass said...

Hi Mummy SGTv,
Memang best buat treasure hunt ni tp yg tak best nya kena fikir the questions. Soalan tu depends on u nak buat the hunt kat mana and your surrounding. Mcm I, I guna questions yg relate to the things I find around the house :-)

Mira,
Memang weh payah nak pikir clues ni, nasib baik lah Ada Cik Google tolong sikit2 tulis clues :-). I tak tau lagi nak buat activities apa cuti2 ni, pening kepala I fikir, hehehe
