Start the Hunt: Begin the scavenger hunt by giving your children the first clue. You can make it something like, "Roses are red, violets are blue, the next clue is waiting for you where you tie your shoe."

Follow the Clues: As your children solve each clue, they will find the next one hidden somewhere in the house.

Treasure at the End: At the end of the scavenger hunt, have a special Valentine's Day treasure waiting for them. It could be small gifts like chocolates, candies, or Valentine's Daythemed toys.

This activity not only provides entertainment but also promotes problem-solving skills, teamwork, and family bonding. Plus, it's a memorable way to celebrate Valentine's Day with your young children!

Riddle of the month: I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky. I can swim in the ocean and yet remain dry.
