Easter egg hunt – March 2013

It’s our garden and you’ve got to try and find the Easter eggs. But watch out, because some are FALSE Easter eggs!

That’s a flower on the table, that big tall purple one is a big apple tree and there’s grass all around to hunt for eggs in. They’re the steps to the gym [left], that’s the weight lifter in the gym [far left, on top of the door], but instead of weights at each end, it’s got EASTER EGGS!

Me: Is that one?

D: Yes! You’ve got 105 points.

Me: Is that one?

D: No. That’s a trick ball. 104 points.

Survival guide – Oct 2012

D: It’s a picture of me – that’s me [in green, just above centre]. We had to write words by everything. They’re the trees [left and right]; that’s a fire [centre]; that’s all the clues so that people can find the Easter eggs [blue dots]. They’re Superheroes [top] that I made out of my modelling box [right of ‘me’]. And that says ‘rope’ because we had to make a house with some rope.
