Golden Treasure Hunt

Play Experience
Get the kids out into the backyard and excited with a golden treasure hunt.

Material
  • Stones, the bumpier the better; more realistic.
  • Gold spray paint
  • Cardboard or drop sheet
Procedure 
1. Set out the stones on the cardboard or drop sheet. I've used a paper bag here.
2. Shake the can well.
3. Spray the stones in a side to side movement, about 20 cm away. Only make about three spray passes over each stone and then leave for about five minutes to dry.
4. Repeat the process until the top side is fully covered. Once dry, turn stones over and spray the other-side.
5. Once dry you are ready to hide the treasure in your backyard for the kids to find.
Play Time
Hide the golden treasure around the backyard.
