Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies for Kids

Now that we have the treasure hunt, let’s talk more about the kid-friendly chocolate chip cookies recipe.

The goal of this recipe was to make it simple and easy. We included a few easy steps to baking chocolate chip cookies. This helpful recipe infographic has arrows to show you all the chocolate chip cookie directions before tossing it in the oven to bake.

Ingredients

2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (chocolate chunks will work too)

Supplies

Oven
Bowl
Measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Mixer or spoon
Scoop
Baking sheet(s)
Parchment paper

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350°F
Sift together 2 3/4 cups flour, a tsp baking soda powder, & 1 tsp sodium salt into a mixing bowl.
Cream butter with 2 large eggs, packed brown sugar, white sugar and 2 tsps vanilla extract until fluffy.
In a large bowl, slowly add flour to butter mixture & gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons cookie dough balls on parchment lined baking tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes for a crispy edge and perfect center.
Wait 2-3 minutes and move to a wire rack for cooling.

This delicious recipe batch yields about 30 of the best chocolate chip cookies. Store inside an airtight container to keep fresh and hold a yummy taste.

Can I make these chocolate chip cookies ahead?

Yes, this chewy chocolate chip cookies recipe is actually best if made ahead. That doesn’t mean you can’t whip up the recipe and immediately put the mixture in the oven. However, if you can let your mixed cookie dough chill for up to two hours before baking, your cookies will come out nice and fluffy texture. Chilling chocolate chip cookie dough solidifies the fat in the cookies. When baked, it actually prevents spread on a baking pan as the fat in chilled cookie dough takes longer to melt than room temperature fat.

How can I do with these chocolate chip cookies?

Are you afraid these cookies will go to waste? I mean, in our home, there is no such thing as wasted baked desserts. However, if this is not something your family would enjoy more than one bite, take a look at these ideas for your non-necessary cookies.

Let’s get outdoors and begin our local treasure hunt!

What is a scavenger hunt?

A scavenger hunt is a game similar to a treasure hunt. Players collect or identify specific items, usually specified on a list or given in a series of clues. Players are given a list of items to find or collect. This collection can be a collection of similar things or a series of clue cards. There are two different types of scavenger hunt hunts…

Scavenger Hunt Checklist
Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

A scavenger hunt can be casual or can be a timed race. It can be played individually or with a team. There are a few examples of how to declare a winner in a scavenger hunt…

Man vs clock: Each player races to beat another players time.
Man vs Man: Multiple players go at the same time. The winner finishes the race first.
Team vs Team: Players work together to finish their scavenger hunt before the other team finishes first.

At the end of a scavenger treasure hunt there is a prize. The first player to find or collect all the items on the list or complete the rhyming riddles wins the game. Examples of scavenger hunt prizes can include…

holiday gifts
birthday presents
party favors
small prizes
a series of items that lead to a larger clue (for example letters to unscramble)
candy

How to Prepare for a Scavenger Hunt

Decide on the area you will be searching. This could be your neighborhood, a local park, playground or even your own backyard. In this case, you’ll be doing the scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and by foot or car depending on your area.

Put together clues in the form of a checklist or clue cards. For example, in a scavenger hunt checklist, make a list of items for the players to find or collect. The list can be as simple or complex as you like. For example, at a Safari Themed Party, players might collect different animals found in the jungle that are hiding in the party venue.

If you are created ideas for scavenger hunt clues for kids, you want to have a consecutive list of places you want the kids to go. Then you offer clues so that they find that location.

An example of a scavenger hunt clue for kids is…

Check out the pathway on the side of the street. On the concrete is a clue for you to meet.

Start the town scavenger hunt. Print out the cards or checklist, and choose the area of the neighborhood you’ll be working in.

What’s in this Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt?

For this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable set, there are actually two types of neighborhood scavenger hunt ideas to choose from: A checklist and rhyming riddles clue cards.

The first neighborhood treasure hunt is more descriptive and great for older kids or teenagers that can read and solve riddles. This could be used on your street or using a car scavenger hunt for a larger area. Second, there is also a list of items for younger kids. This would be used as a walking scavenger hunt and kids check off the list of items on their visual list.

Clue Cards

This scavenger hunt is great for older children, teens or even adults. Use rhyming riddles and go on a neighborhood walk scavenger hunt on foot or driving scavenger hunt as you locate different clues and ultimately find your prize.

To get started, cut the rhyming clue cards apart. Choose the scavenger hunt clue cards that are best for your neighborhood and plan your order. If you wish, you can add a number to the back of the card for ordering.

Since you are in a larger area, such as a neighborhood, create a boundary where clues can be found. To keep the clues in a larger area, write your own clues on the back. For example, use hints like this is at a house to the left of yours. This is at a flower bush four driveways from yours. Hide your cards in the appropriate spot but save the first card to start the hunt. You can play foot, bicycle, golf cart or car!

In our printable set, you’ll also find a page full of do not touch signs! These signs are great for when you don’t want anyone messing up your scavenger hunt and picking up a clue card before players have gotten to that riddle.

Checklist

The second photo scavenger hunt is ideal for preschoolers or younger children and kids. In this scavenger hunt list, participants can see the picture and from there they can look for the item in the picture. The scavenger hunt includes 16 items.

Example neighborhood checklist items include…

sprinkler
dog
flower
mailbox
airplane
stop sign

Once an items is found, you can use a circle sticker and cover the item (like these on Amazon) or just add a circle or X. This is not a checklist neighborhood hunt where you pick up the item – the neighbor might not like you carrying their dog home. LOL.

What is a Scavenger Hunt?

A scavenger hunt is an engaging game played by children (and adults, too!) Every scavenger hunt begins with a list of objects to find and riddles or clues to help the players locate the items. To play the game, divide the players into at least 2 teams and give the teams or individual players copies of the list of clues. A scavenger hunt is similar to a treasure hunt in that there are clues to solve and at the end is typically a scavenger hunt prize or present.

What are the Scavenger Hunt Rules?

Scavenger hunts can be played individually or in groups — either way, whoever finishes first wins! There are two types of hunts. Hunts can be consecutive where a team or individuals are given the first clue which leads to the second, third, fourth, and so on. Alternatively, hunts can be done using a checklist where the full list of “must do’s” are provided at the beginning. Provide players with a writing utensil, and they can check off their finds as they go!

Individual Scavenger Hunts

Individual scavenger hunts are a great way to busy a child or give them individual gifts on a special day. At each stopping point, before the next scavenger hunt riddle clue is given, gift your child a piece of their larger present. You can do this on birthday or even collecting their Back to School Supplies. Yes, you can do a scavenger hunt at home to make even Back to School Supplies exciting!

To begin, supply the player with the first scavenger hunt clue. The first riddle will lead them to the second. The second will lead them to the third clue and so on until the scavenger hunt is over. You can also provide a scavenger hunt checklist where the entire list must be completed before a prize is given.

Group Scavenger Hunts

Group scavenger hunts are perfect for sleepovers, lock-ins, class parties, and more. Even adults can find their inner child and have fun challenging each other in outdoor venues like parks, concerts, the mall, or in a city hunt challenge around town.

Either supply your groups with a scavenger hunts riddle and clue #1 or provide them a list of things to get on a piece of paper. This list is their checklist and must be completed in order to declare a winner. A checklist Scavenger Hunt is typically easier for large groups, so you don’t have to go around hiding multiple sets of clues for each team.

Cheap birthday parties for those on a budget can still turn out great. You really just have to focus on the areas that you want to spend money on and the other areas you can do on a budget! For example, you may want to go all out on the cake, but save money on the gifts. With a little bit of creativity, you can still have a fantastic birthday party without blowing your budget.

Here are some tips for cheap birthday party ideas:

Set a budget and stick to it

This is probably the most important tip when it comes to having a child’s birthday party on a budget. Decide how much you’re willing or able to spend beforehand, and then make sure all of your decisions reflect that budget. Start with the item that is most important to you. One that you are not willing to spend less on. Start there and then start researching the rest of the party ideas.

Get creative with the guest list

Instead of inviting everyone you know, be selective about who you invite. You can still have a great time with fewer people in attendance. Plus, this will allow you to focus your spending on making sure those who do attend have an amazing time. The individuals that were not invited to this party can be guests for another occasion.

DIY as much as possible

Another great way to save money is by doing things yourself instead of hiring someone else to do them for you. For example, if you’re good at baking, why not make your own cake instead of buying one? Or if you’re crafty, you could make your own invitations or decorations instead of buying them from a store. Pinterest and bloggers provide a lot of ideas for DIY party favors, printable banners, and even low-cost themed birthday party ideas.

Think outside the box when it comes to activities

Just because there’s no money for entertainment doesn’t mean your guests will be bored. There are plenty of fun games and activities that don’t cost anything to play. For example, charades, scavenger hunts, karaoke and printable themed party games are all great options that are sure to keep your guests happy and entertained.

Save on the Venue

In addition to thinking outside the box for birthday party activities, also think outside the box for the party room. Public, national, and local parks are often affordable places. Think of all the places friends have had parties. Now cross those ideas off. Why, because they are popular and popular means there is an up charge in cost – supply vs demand. This past year, we found a small fish tank aquarium. It had an outdoor place for the kids to play and it might have been the best, most affordable party we ever had. Parents raved about the venue and no one had every been there before. By finding something that was not “common” we saved a lot. If the venue place is still too much, have a party at your home or in your backyard.

Having a birthday party on a budget is totally possible, you just need to get creative! By following these low-cost party tips, you can throw an amazing bash without breaking the bank in the process!

What activities do children like to do on their birthdays?

Still looking for inexpensive birthday party ideas? Birthdays are a special time for kids. It’s a day when they get to feel extra special and loved. Having a few family-only birthday traditions are a great way to recognize the guest of honor. If you’re looking for some fun ideas to make your child’s birthday even more special, look no further!

Here are some great low cost party ideas for celebrating birthdays with kids. Create these fun birthday ideas with a party of two to a party of 30!

Have a picnic lunch

Get some yummy food and drinks and have a picnic lunch outside! This is a great way to enjoy the nice weather and have some quality time with your child. Find a unique place to eat like on top of a big rock in the middle of a creek or downtown in the city with tall buildings.

Make a cake

Let your child help you make their birthday cake! Make your own DIY cake mix or pick up a boxed mix. They’ll love being able to help out and will be so excited to eat their creation. You can even let them make their own miniature cake (or cupcake) and have a larger cake for the family to share. This can be done with themed party food or party snacks too.

A classic birthday treat! Kids will love being able to pick out their favorite flavor and topping combination. Plus, it’s a great way to cool down on a hot day. Make your very own ice cream party shop.

Kids Party Games

I mentioned earlier, saving money on the things you can. Decide what’s most important to you, then save on the rest. Having a birthday party allows your child to feel important. It puts them at the center of attention. The goal is a fun birthday party that gives your child self affirmation and positive feelings of oneself.

Everyone knows that the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the Nutcracker Ballet! This Printable Nutcracker Activity for Kids is so much imaginative fun. Not only can they print out the various Nutcrackers scenes, but they’ll have the printable paper dolls to go along with it, as well. When it comes to Christmas Placemats Activities, adding this printable Nutcracker scene activity to the table might be the perfect holiday addition.

Part of getting excited and ready for the holidays is thinking about all the Christmas classics from the past. Since The Nutcracker Ballet is one that everyone loves and knows, it just makes sense to have fun activities surrounding that theme!

What I love about this holiday printable activity is that it’s a great way to get the kids active and involved. They’ll love being able to turn the pages, change the scenes, and have the paper dolls be a part of the fun.

They could even have their own Nutcracker theater and put on quite the play! Have everyone in the family gather around and sit down to watch the show. It’s truly magical to see the excitement of Christmas through the eyes of the kids!

If you’re looking for fun Christmas activities, look no further than this printable Nutcracker scene. It’s a fun place-setting idea, a great interactive activity, and a fun way to get everyone excited for the holidays.

How does this printable Nutcracker activity work?

It’s as simple as printing out the pages and then piecing them together to make fun scenes from The Nutcracker. The paper dolls can be used on every page to make the story come to life.

Once it’s put together, there are parts and pieces that can be moved around and used differently throughout the rest of the printable set.

This is where creativity and imagination come into play and makes it super fun to use over and over again. Flipping the pages and having the paper dolls in various different scenes is a simple way to make this Nutcracker idea and activity unique and different every time.

Can this nutcracker printable be used by one person?

You bet! It’s a super fun activity for one or multiple! All you have to do is print, and then whoever wants to join in on the fun can absolutely do so. This is a great way to imagine and then make it happen, which is what little kids love to do!

I do recommend that there be a part of adult hands to help out with the little hands in making and putting this together. Adult supervision and help are always welcomed. (plus, the bonus of creating it together is an awesome memory!)

Supplies

Printer
Small, sharp scissors
Glue or glue stick
Cardstock or printer paper (I love this set!)
Laminator (this is optional – but I love laminating my stuff!)
Ruler or straight edge
printable Nutcracker arts & crafts activity pack on nine template sheets

What’s included with this Nutcracker theater scene printable?

In this Nutcracker printable pack for kids, there are:

printable scenes
printable directions
paper doll printables

Use this for fun Christmas Decor for Your Home or a great way to get the kids to have imaginative and creative play ideas as well.

This would also be super cute to have on the holiday table as a unique centerpiece or even a fun place mat on the kid’s plates to give them something to do with their hands while they’re waiting for dinner.

How to create a Nutcracker Travel Set

Perhaps while you create your christmas craft, turn on Youtube the classical music from the Nutcracker by composer Tchaikovsky. This might give you a little inspiration and Christmas cheera s you make your Nutcracker traveling set.

First, download and print your printable nutcracker activity set. If working with preschoolers or toddlers, have older children or adults guide them through the activity. We find cardstock works great but printer paper is just fine.

To begin, use the ruler and back blunt edge of your scissors to score the two dotted lines of Page 1. Fold both of the lines inward to form the base.

Next cut out the flap from page 2. Use the ruler and back edge of your scissors to score the single dotted line. Fold this line back.

Place the flap over the right, short edge of the base. Glue the underside of the flap to the front, outside, folding it over the base, forming an envelope.

Open the base up all the way with the white side up on a flat surface. The flap should be on the right.

Cut out the two pockets from page 3. Score along the dotted lines of each envelope and fold these inward.

Apply glue to the flaps and adhere each pocket to the bottom left and bottom right of the base. Line the edges up with the outside edges of the base page.

Next, cut out the top and side curtains from page 4. Score the curtains along the dotted lines. Fold the flaps back.

Apply glue to the flaps of the middle curtain and glue it to the top of the base, carefully centering it in the middle, about I/8th of an inch from the very top edge. After the middle curtain dries in place, flip it up.

Now, glue the two side curtains in the same manner, lining them up along each side edge of the base page. Set aside.

Cut out the three stage scenes Prom pages 5 – 7. Fold each scene in half, carefully folding, then creasing them down the middle.

Glue the back right of scene 1 to the back left of scene 2. Next, glue the back right of scene 2 to the back right of scene 3. This will create a small booklet of scenes.

Next, open up all curtain flaps. Glue the backs of the booklet in place, carefully centering it between the two side curtains and about I/16th down from the top curtain flap fold.

To change scenes, open the three curtain flaps, turn the booklet page, then place the curtain flaps back down into place.

Cut out all dancers and decorations. These items don’t have to be cut exactly. It’s Pine to leave some white space around the edges. Categorize the items and place them into the correct envelopes, Dancers or Decorations. (These would be fine laminated if you want to keep them in good shape.)

Now carefully fold the Nutcracker Kit in half. Use the flat end of your scissors or the end of a ruler to re-crease the folds so they are sharp.

Finally, cut out the long band and decorative sticker from page 2. Starting at the center front, hold the end in place, then wrap the long band all the way around the short width of the base kit, creasing the band as you go.

Apply glue to the back of the decorative snow-flake sticker to connect the band in the front. Make sure that you only glue the band together. Don’t glue the band to your base!

Enjoy your entire land of sweets travel kit during the Nutcracker season.

Printable Nutcracker Activity for Kids

Be sure to print out all that you need to create the Nutcracker scenes! Once you start putting it together, you’re going to be amazed that such a simple activity creates such an amazing result.

I’ve found that when I introduce new activities during the holidays, it’s a fun and simple way to create a brand-new family tradition that everyone loves and looks forward to.

If you want to have baby shower games that all of the attendees but especially the mom-to-be will love, then you might really enjoy this baby shower scavenger hunt!

How to Use Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

This baby shower scavenger hunt is perfect for a baby shower that is being held in someone’s home. If you will not be within a home, you could also set it up at a venue with a little bit of creativity. You will simply need to “stage” the venue with appropriate areas, for example, baby outfits hanging on a rack to represent the “closet”or a baby tub (that you can gift the mom-to-be) for the bathroom or bathtub.

The baby items around the venue area will act like a home. Player can then zoom through the area trying to solve the list of baby rhymes.

Fun Baby Themed Riddles

This scavenger hunt has a set of 20 rhyming clues that are meant to help your shower guests find the next clue. Examples of some of the baby inspired riddles are “ Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes. Go to where the baby will put their folded clothes”, and “Rub-a-dub-dub, oh what a delight. Go where the baby will be bathed each and every night”.

Other rhyming clues include “ The next clue you look for is presently hiding where the baby will spend a lot of time riding” (aka car seat) and “Baby will get lots of lovin, the end of the hunt is revealed baking in the oven.” Stumped? Don’t worry, answers are given with the printable set – plus you want to make this challenging so it becomes a real competition.

How to Play a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

To paly this baby shower scavenger hunt, print all 20 scavenger hunt clues. Next cut the nursery rhymes out. Decide what clues are best for you to use for your party location and scavenger hunt purpose – for example, if you are not revealing the gender, take out the clues that say its a boy or girl.

Once you have chosen the right cards, hide the clue cards in the appropriate spot. Make sure to save the first card to start the game! If you are going to have the guests play this game in teams, make sure to print off two of the starting cards! You can then create a time limit and see who completes the hunt the fastest.

You could also use this scavenger hunt to reveal the little one’s name, just leave a single letter where each clue is found. You can also leave small prizes like candy or candles for each guest to take one, or have a larger prize for the winner of the scavenger hunt!

What’s in your Purse?

While you are waiting for all of your baby shower guests to arrive there is another type of scavenger hunt that you can play.

Give each guest a copy of the “what’s in your purse?” baby shower scavenger hunt and a pen, whoever has the most points at the end will win a prize.

Items that are commonly found in your purse such as keys, credit cards, tissues, pens, checkbooks, and rewards cards are only worth a single point per item. Mints, hairbrushes, toys, bandaids, sunglasses, and hand lotion are worth two points each.

Items that are a little less common are worth more points. You can receive five points per item for a paper grocery list, receipt, cash, a phone charger, or a tape measure. For ten points per item, your guests can look for a paperclip, a utensil, a passport, underwear, or a picture of the mom-to-be!
