Small toys or snacks
Treasure map (optional)
Think back to when you were a child and searched for Easter eggs on Easter. That was always fun and exciting to me. Having a treasure hunt just because sounds like a big hit! Hide several small toys, books, or special snacks around the house. Give your child clues or draw a map that leads to the treasure.

This would be fun for moments such as: New Years Eve- Make it a tradition by counting down the hours to the new year. Valentines Day- Make a stash of hearts with reasons you love your child. St Patricks Day- Hide what the Leprechauns left behind. Easter- Hide eggs with candy, little toys, or coins inside. Even could hide the Easter Basket. May/June- Out of school- Hide a large basket full of fun Summer ideas. August/September- Back to school- Hide a large basket full of school goodies. October- Hide their buckets that they use to go trick or treating with their costume inside. Thanksgiving- Hide some leaves and you could write on them what you're thankful for. December- Hide their stocking with it full of stocking stuffers, have a basket delivered to your front door from the Pajama Elf, etc.
