Hidden Pictures
When I was a kid, Highlights had hidden picture pages in every magazine. They were black and white pictures with silly items hidden inside the scene. There was a key along the bottom to let kids know which items to search for. We used to circle the items as we found them.
These days, there are entire books of hidden picture pages and some of them come with stickers. Instead of circling the hidden carrot, the kids can place the carrot sticker on top of the hidden carrot…fun!
Michael loves hidden picture pages! Finding silly things in the bigger photo makes him smile and anything that makes him smile is mom approved, for sure!
