Channel your inner ghostbuster and create a fun and easy "Ghost Writer" treasure hunt for some spine-tingling Halloween fun!
For this treasure hunt, simply write a message with a sharp white crayon on a piece of white paper (press hard!). If you sit near a bright window, you will be able to somewhat see what you are doing.
I hid a small treat (see below) and handed my kids what looked like a blank piece of paper. They may not be able to figure out what to do next, so have fat, Crayola-type markers at the ready! Tell them that a friendly ghost wrote them a secret message and they may need to scribble across the page to reveal it.
Note: This also works using a white colored pencil (press hard) instead of a crayon, but it's not quite as readable.
Example:
Example:
Write some version of this message depending on where you hide your gift:
This note was written with invisible ink,
Using a ghostly color to make you think!
Now that it's solved, you'll find a reward,
Just look in the cupboard where towels are stored.
This is what the Ghost Writer brought my kids (found at Walmart, Amazon, etc.)...
Other ideas: Ghost Peeps, Ghost Reese's, Halloween Oreos. Be creative!
Happy Halloween! Karen
