We're going on a hunt

We're going on a hunt. We're going on a hunt. To find Maggie's _________. To find Maggie's __________. We're going to look high, we're going to look low. We're going on a hunt.

We're going on a hunt. We're going on a hunt. To find Maggie's _________. To find Maggie's __________. We're going to look left/under/in, we're going to look right/over/out. We're going on a hunt.

Repeat until object is found.
This song emerged recently as a hit in the Rush household. Tired of unwillingness to look for desired objects, Mama decided to make it more of a game, for their interest and her sanity. And maybe, just maybe, they'll learn some finding strategies for themselves. Lately, hunts happen regularly (and sometimes independently!) for desired objects and just for the sake of a hunt!

I love it! Have you ever read Playful Parenting, Shannon? It's an awesome book and I highly recommend it.

This is a very fun way to find things. I have such a creative daughter! We (Shannon, the girls and I) went on a hunt at my house recently when something very important couldn't be found fast enough.
