Every year on Valentine's Day I make a scavenger hunt for my kids.
I stole the idea from a sorority activity.
I buy a few sweet little things to say "I love you". A craft, a book, maybe a treat. And I hide them.
Then I take a ball of yarn and tie it to to the gifts and unwind it through the house. Over chairs and under railings and behind tables. When I get to the end of my yarn I tape it to the wall with a heart.
On Valentine's Day morning I let the kids follow the string to their special gift.
I love watching their glee as they wind around the house working together to untangle themselves.
