Letterboxing
Like 100% of little kids, mine loves codes and treasure maps and the idea of hunting down and unearthing something surprising and secret. This weekend, the local paper ran a piece by a mom who discovered letterboxing, and it sounds like a sure way to thrill a would-be explorer. Instead of following clues to buried jewels, you end up with a new print in your letterboxing book, and you have to rebury the rubber stamp that made it back in the ground for the next round of trekkers. It's a very clever idea, and I'm intrigued to know if anyone else out in GoMom land is familiar with it?
I LOVE this! We did the geocaching thing a couple of years ago, but were frustrated by figuring out the GPS thingy. It was always more fun when there were clues to figure out. I can't wait!
When I was teaching I took my students (3rd and 4th grade) on an (environmental focused) overnight and a parent did letterboxing with the students and they LOVED it!
