Scavenger Hunt Ideas for all ages

I recently found this website called Scavenger-Hunt-Fun.com. They have tons of different scavenger hunt ideas for many themes and all ages. The one I'm planning on using for my 14 days of Valentines is the "around the home poem clues" in their Indoor Scavenger Hunt---strictly because I don't want to wear out my husband too much when he gets home from work...

Simply write out the poems listed below on index cards and place them in their correct spot (which will be indicated by the previous clue... For example: lets say you start at the front door and give the "shower or bath tub poem/clue".... The finder will then go to the shower or bath tub and find their next poem/clue that might direct them to the master bedroom etc.)

Here's the clues provided by Scavenger Hunt Fun. Use them all or pick a few:
The shower or bathtub:
When you're feeling less than fresh
There's just one place to go
To wash and get all squeaky clean
and scrub between each toe. 

Television
Boob tube, idiot box, eye, and telly
are names for this machine.
Oprah, House, and C.S.I.
on it are weekly seen.

Mailbox
This box is mostly filled with things
that rarely bring you glee
Like bills, and junk, and other stuff
you'd rather never see.

Dinning Room Table
The speed of life has made this furniture
a thing of fables,
But there were times when families.
once ate around these tables.

Washing Machine
It seems our clothes just keep returning
to this same machine.
At least they're better than the things
the ancients used to clean.

Stairs
Up and down, and up and down
you climb these everyday.
You've likely seen the clue on these,
but passed it anyway.

Garage
When couples are well-organized
they park the car in here.
But otherwise it's full of junk
and not one inch is clear.

Computer
Communicate with family,
research, shop, and play games.
Since this invention swept the globe,
our lives have really changed.

Master Bedroom
The head of house retires here
to get some peace and rest.
Of all the rooms within the home
the master's room is best.

Thanks for stopping by!

How to: Message Puzzle in Balloon Bouquet

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make a Message Puzzle and put them in a bouquet of balloons. This is a fun way to tell someone how much you care about them.

Here's what you'll need:
1 piece of paper
Pencil
Markers
Exacto Knife or Scissors
9 balloons
Sewing Pin

Take your paper and make a 3x3 grid. I used 2in squares

 Free hand puzzle like pieces using your grid as a guide.(*I used marker so it would show in the picture).

 Cut out the 3x3 Grid (not cutting out the pieces yet). Turn over and write your message.

 Turn back over and cut out the puzzle pieces with exacto knife or scissors

 Roll up each puzzle piece (One at a time. Use a marker to help roll) and stuff carefully in a balloon.

Take your message filled balloons to a local party or grocery store that has a helium tank

 Have them turn your message filled balloons into a bouquet of balloons

Don't forget to leave a sewing pin so your special someone has a way to easily pop the balloon and get your message!
I'm doing this for my husband on the 4th day of Valentines.
