Fairy Puzzle Hunt Party Activity
by Barbara Smith
(Sacramento, CA)
Start with a plain "make it yourself" puzzle from the craft store (15 or 20 pieces or so), and make it into either a map that says where the final treasure is, or a riddle or instructions to find it - make it very colorful and glittery. Then wrap each piece separately in a little fairy bundle (tissue and an organza gift bag, or a small piece of sparkly tissue or fabric and ribbon), and hide them throughout the yard before the fairies arrive for the party. When it's time to play, tell them that the queen of the fairies has hidden her secret to the fairy treasure in many pieces in the land, and they will need to find them and work together to find the treasure. They need to find the pieces, put the puzzle together, and then they will find their treasure with a fairy gift for each girl.
I like this idea because it encourages teamwork instead of competition, and everybody wins.
