For all my treasures

To improve our time getting ready in the mornings, 
the kids have good morning charts.  For each task (brushing teeth, go potty, hug mommy, etc)
they earn a sticker.  When their page gets full of stickers, 
they 'cash' that in for a prize!

Their prize today is a wooden treasure chest for each to decorate and paint. 
Then they can hide their own treasures inside!


We love paint, and all of the different colors. 
They were very intent on layering the colors, so the boxes turned out more brown and orange 
but you can still see different colors peeking through. 


The paint pallet worked great!
Just a strong piece of cardboard, and the kids were able to share the colors well. 
I'll have to remember this for all of our future projects.


Once the treasure chests are dry, 
the kids get to hunt for treasure (rocks and shells) and keep it in their rooms. 
It was a great prize for a full sheet of good morning stickers!
