Treasure in the Rain: Laidlaw School's Adventure with TOYBOX

Using Compasses and Cardinal Directions to Discover Hidden Treasures


June 18, 2024


The TOYBOX team organized yet another successful treasure hunt, this time at Laidlaw School. The weather threatened to be gloomy, but children arrived at school wearing rain boots and raincoats, prepared for the day. Like our recent event at Oak Street Nursery School, the team helped children find hidden treasure using “left,” “right,” and the cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West.


Word had gone around to the students that some pirates had hidden treasure somewhere in the playground, so everyone was excited to get started!


Using directions given by the team and carrying their own compasses, the children found their way to their prize. Activities like treasure hunts practice essential math skills like counting, directions, as well as create meaningful connections to one’s environment.


Like the children of Oak Street, the Laidlaw School students chose their favourite sticker for

completing the hunt. As the hunt closed, children went home with compasses and activities to try with their families.


Summer is a perfect time to try outdoor activities. Look under our Activities Page and pick a fun activity to try!
