To keep with her current detective theme, she informed us that she needed to start buying detective gear and taking it everywhere she goes, because we never know when there might me a case to solve. So what does her detective kit consist of you ask? Currently it is a Monsters Inc. drawstring Subway backpack that holds a magnifying glass (from Target), a small writing pad, a pencil, scissors, and scotch tape. She will not leave the house without it.
Since my husband and I try to be good parents who encourage here creativity, my husband came up with her first case. We will call it the Case of the Missing Pink Monkey. He worked long and hard to come up with a set of coded clues for her to decipher that would ultimately lead her to her Monkey. She had a blast!
This was her first clue. She had to use the mirror reflection to read it. |
The next daddy project it the creation of a proper detective briefcase made from cardboard. Thank goodness for You Tube tutorials and a wonderfully willing husband. Until next time, keep your head up and eyes peeled for Hanny Pants Detective Extraordinaire!
