It read, "If you want to find more treasure, follow the clues with fun and pleasure." Since the kids were 3 years old or close to 3, I had them find color clues using their black telescopes leading to the treasure. Clues read, "Keep looking my sunny fellow, the next clue is the color- YELLOW." The kids had to find the yellow paper that I taped in the family room and on that paper was the next clue- for this bright color, I can not find a rhyme, but it's the color of pumpkins at Autumn time- ORANGE." On the orange paper was the next clue and so on, until they found 6 colors and the last color clue read- "All the colors are beautiful beyond measure, and when friends work together, we'll find the treasure! Line up colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue,& purple, now you're getting warm, it's something lovely after a pirate storm." We lined up the colored papers and the children shouted, "it's a rainbow!" I told them we needed to find a rainbow. They looked around and in the living room was a huge box. On the side of the box, I drew a pirate ship on the ocean with a rainbow. My son helped color it. When the kids saw the box with the rainbow on it, they were so happy- "We found the rainbow!" Then the kids opened the box and helium filled balloons- all 6 rainbow colors flew up to the high ceiling. There were also air filled balloons in the box that the kids had to dig up to get to the big treasure chest- made from a medium sized cardboard box. The kids were so excited shouting, "The treasure, oh my gosh, we found it! We found it!" Inside the treasure box were the clear plastic treasure chests filled with toy jewelry and little clear cellophane bags of gold and money (gold candy coins, gold Hershey kisses and nuggets and pretend money). On the cellophane bags of gold was a tag with a pirate ship that read "thank you matey for helping me find the lost treasure and for celebrating my third birthday with us! Your Pirate Captain Evan.
