DIY "Find It" Game for Kids
As parents we've all experienced "those" moments: A laundry list of errands to run, sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office for hours, waiting for a table to open up at restaurant, or a long road trip. What usually comes along with these moments? Bored and whining children!!! I'm constantly trying to think of creative ways to keep my kids occupied during these moments with easy to bring toys. Today I'm sharing one of my kids favorites, the "Find It" game!
Supplies/ Child:
- Clear water bottle per child
- Approximately a half bag of rice
- 25+ Random Items
- Super Glue
- Pen & Paper
- Tape {we used box tape}
Step 1: Find a clear, dried, empty water bottle and remove the label. Set the cap aside for later use.
Step 2: Have your kids go on a scavenger hunt around the house for non-perishable objects that will fit into the water bottle. Note: Be sure you're okay with never getting these objects back! We used 25 items for our bottles, but you can use as many items as you'd like.
Step 3: With your pen and paper list each item your child found {or type it out}! We recommend creating your list in a long & narrow format so that it will take up as little room as possible on the water bottle.
Step 4: After your list is completed, begin pouring just a small amount of rice into the water bottle. Now add a couple of your items.
Step 5: Continue step #3 until all your items are in the water bottle. Do NOT fill the water bottle to the top with rice. Make sure to leave room for the rice to move around once the cap is put on.
Step 6: Place a small amount of super glue around the top of the water bottle and screw the cap on quickly. *This step is important or else you could be cleaning up rice all over in the back seat of your car {fun}.
Step 7: Cut your item list out and tape it onto the water bottle.
Step 8: After the glue is dried your kids are ready to go!
Game Rules: Start with the first item on the list and move the bottle around until you find the item in the rice. Once you find it, move on to the second item, and so on! This game is super fun for kids and better yet, a great occupier for all those "moments"!
