Kids will love matching the treasures they find with the different spots on the map.

A variety of tools helps kids ages 4 and up discover what’s hidden. From the chisels to the brush and sponge, kids can feel like a professional archeologist on site.

Use an old cookie sheet, cardboard, or both if your kids complete this activity inside.

We highly recommend completing this activity outdoors. If you want to try it inside, make sure to use a mat or thick cardboard. Even an old cookie sheet will work wonders for containing the potential mess. Younger kids may need help getting started, while older children will have no trouble getting set up and exploring on their own.

If you want to bring the adventure to your backyard, this treasure chest comes packed with entertainment and rewards.
