I wanted to do a birthday treasure hunt for my four-year-old’s birthday that was easy and simple. Instead of writing clever clues, I put images of basic household objects that were easy to recognize.

Start your treasure hunt

Before you begin the birthday treasure hunt, make sure you tell all the kids participating that the birthday boy or girl is the one who collects the clues. Sometimes kids get so excited and they plow over all the other kids to find the clue.

Then, hand out the first clue and watch the fun unfold. My kids were running around the house and loving every minute of it. My little four-year-old LOVED all of the attention. The last clue leads everyone to the car. Inside I hid my son’s birthday presents and a bag a goodies for the rest of the kids.
