Play Squirrelly Seek

This game combines two activities children are nuts about: hide-and-seek and make-believe.

What You Need:

  • handful of acorns or acorn shapes cut out of paper
  • a small container for each player
  • egg timer (if more than one child plays the game)

What You Do:

  • Hide the acorns around your house.
  • Let your child pretend to be a squirrel by collecting the acorns in a small container.

For multiple players: Give each player a container and set a timer for one minute. The child who collects the most acorns before the timer rings, wins!
