How can I replicate the Webkinz gem hunt at a birthday party?
I’m having a Webkinz birthday party for my 8 year old. I would like to have the kids do a gem hunt (like the one on the site). I have found gems and crowns at oriental trading. I was thinking of glueing gems onto styrafoam peanuts and having the kids hunt through a box of them. Once gems are found a craft project will be to glue them on a crown. Anyone have a better idea?????? Very open to suggestions. THANKS!

You could fill balloons, or small waterballoons that are filled with candy. The winners can have real party favors like small folded up hats or noise-makers, then have them choose which balloon they want to open. Sometimes you could have a balloon with nothing in it.
The only problem I see with this idea is the shape of the object in the balloon being an obvious giveaway at the contents. Possibly get some dark balloons and blow them up slightly, that way they pop and the goodies fall to the ground excitingly.
Even if this isn’t the best answer, I hope you guys have a blast with your party
Happy Birthday!
(Edit: You could put candy in some of the other less-winning balloons. We’d hate for one of the kids to get nothing..that’s always sad

Label each room of your house like the different caves…..they have to pick a room. Then have (obvious) wads of brown paper set all over the room (representing the rocks, but hide gems in some of them)…they have to be escorted in and pick… (how many chances do you get….3?) they have to pick that many, and and leave the room and bring their rocks to a central location where everyone opens them up to see what they got!!!!
