Treasure dig

This game can be played using an existing sandbox, or if you don’t have one, fill a plastic bin with play sand. Before the guests arrive, hide fun toys or trinkets that go with the theme of your party in the sand. (Example: small plastic dinosaurs, plastic jewelry, toy cars or tiny bottles of nail polish) To play, give kids plastic shovels and let them dig for treasure! Hint: If you have enough treasure, guests could use this game to fill their goody bags.
