The treasure could be old jewellery, metal spoons, bottle tops, coins. Make a list of the treasure you have hidden and get your child to tick the item off the list when they have found it. Your child could then draw a treasure map for someone else in the family to find the hidden treasure.

Create a Superworm fishing rod using a long piece of string. Attach one of your favourite creatures to the string. Hang it up to show Superworm's fishing rod rescues. You can keep changing the creature.
