When I saw this St. Patrick's Day scavenger hunt idea (http://www.fantasticfunandlearning.com/gold-scavenger-hunt-abc-activity) I knew it would be perfect for Monkey.
Supplies: gold coins (we used chocolate loonies) with the alphabet written on them
I sent Monkey up to his room to play while I got this activity ready, since I didn't want him to see me hiding all the gold coins. I hid them all over our main floor.
When I brought him down and told him I had a surprise, he was acting really shy and didn't really want to do it. So I just took his hand and we walked around. I asked him if he noticed anything different or new in our house. When he started to see the gold coins, his face lit up!
Monkey started to grab all the coins and put them in a bowl. He noticed right away that there were letters on them.
After Monkey had found all the coins, I dumped out the bowl.
I asked him to put the coin in alphabet order to make sure we didn't miss any.
Turns out he didn't miss a single one!
Finally, the best part... We picked one to eat!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
