They had scavenger lists in the produce section. Faith grabbed one and a crayon, and Maddie grabbed one and a crayon. Faith scribbled all over it, and it kept her quite occupied. Maddie thought this was the coolest thing ever, and it was a really cute idea. There were a bunch of pictures of items that they had to locate, and then once they located it, they had to write down the letter in that space. Eventually, it spelled out 'Happy Easter' once Maddie found all the letters. But, it was really neat for Faith too because she got a kick out of helping her Dee look for green bell peppers, carrots, apples, chocolate milk, etc etc. Maddie was so proud of herself when she filled in all the letters, and wrote her name so proudly on the paper in her blue crayon. She thought it automatically meant that she had won the prize of the big Easter basket, but it meant only that she was now entered in a chance to win! It was neat though to see their little proud faces as they walked up to customer service to turn in their papers (Faith's complete with scribbles!).
Now I'm trying to think up a scavenger hunt that they can do for Easter with their cousins. Obviously it would be something easier without having to write down a message with letters, but Dan thought it was a cool idea too and we've been thinking of little prizes for each of them as well.
