How to Make a Treasure Hunt in a Bottle

Treasure Hunt in a Bottle is a fun game for small children. They will stay entertained as they try to find all the hidden pieces inside hiding in the rice. It is easy to make, using materials you may already have lying around your house, and it takes only minutes to do. Treasure Hunt in a Bottle is convenient to take along when going places and, with the lid glued tightly in place, is safe for kids as there is no fear of spilling.

Things You'll Need

Empty water bottle with lid
Bird seed, white rice or Fruity Pebbles
Super glue
Button
Small toy ring
Penny
Dime
Dice
Jack piece
Anything small that will fit through the opening of the water bottle

Instructions

- 1
  Take the paper off of the outside of an empty water bottle. Completely dry out the bottle.
- 2
  Using a funnel, pour rice, bird seed or Fruity Pebbles into the bottle, filling it three-fourths full. Filling it with Fruity Pebbles will make the hunt more challenging since it will disguise the objects more, so it would be wise to consider the age of the child whom you are making the Treasure Hunt for.
- 3
  Add the small objects: button, small toy ring, dime, penny, dice, jacks and anything else you want to put inside that will fit through the top.
- 4
  Put super glue around the outer edge of the top of the bottle where the lid goes. Screw the lid on tight and let it dry for 10 minutes.
