We made sock puppets that they were able to help with which also allowed them to build the character. While the sock puppets were fun their absolute favorites were two bought puppets a horse named Charlie and Daisy the cow. Charlie was very talkative while daisy only said moo - charlie actually never saw daisy as every time he turned to look for her daisy would sweep behind him to his other side causing great confusion for charlie and inviting interaction from the enthralled audience. This cracked the boys up and that premise worked for a good six months or maybe a year. I think you guys were present for one of our epic treasure hunts at one of the boys birthday parties. These can be as elaborate or as simple as you have time for. It should include a map and the treasure itself is not hugely important. I have given them movie tokens, if I had already decided we were going to see a movie, candy, loose change, etc. A series of rhyming cryptic clues adds anticipation and humor - something like, At the end of the garden there are three trees, the middle one is where the dog pees, look at my back and you will find me. This would lead them to another clue and on and on. Good Times...Ken Endersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191913482858724619noreply@blogger.com
