It’s not all doom and gloom we still have our imagination. The next time your adult makes a cup of tea take the tea bag and place in a small cup of warm water.

MATERIALS: Paper, Pencil, Pen, Crayons/Coloured pencils, Teabag, Hot water (adult supervision)

1. Choose a room/ rooms in the house.
2. Draw a map/ lay out of your chosen room/s using your imagination to create obstacles and landmarks.

3. Colour in the landmarks and objects on your map. Make direction marks that leads to the hidden treasure. I have added tasks at each landmark eg. Spooky cave you have to recite your 10 x table to be able to pass to the next destination where you have to find a key which opens the treasure case. ( remember use your imagination)

4. Once teabag has cooled down, squeeze teabag leaving a small amount of liquid on it and them rub across page.

5. Now the whole page has a tint leave to dry.

6. While you wait for your map to dry gather 5 objects from around the house for a member of you house to find. write up your questions and set up your obstacles.

7. Once paper is dry screw up page and open flat, your paper will now look wrinkled and old. For a final authentic touch get a adult to burn the edges.
