Do you remember how possum Hush became visible in Mem Fox’s fabulous Possum Magic? There was much border crossing and eating of Australian delicacies. But the winner was a vegemite sanger in Darwin, pav in Perth and a lamington in Hobart. Back in COVID lockdowns, I’m afraid poor Hush would still be invisible!
The Scavenger Hunt
For this scavenger hunt, we’ll find another way to bring our invisible possum back to being seen. You’ll collect dry, crumbly ingredients, apply glue where there should be a possum, and then SHAKE! If everything goes to plan, our cute lil possum should magically appear. It’s like Possum Magic!
How does it work?
- Sign up and I’ll send you a PDF file with the scavenger hunt items.
- Print it! Or just look at it on your phone.
- Step outside and collect the items on the list.
- When you get home follow the instructions to make our invisible possum visible again.
- And don’t forget to flip through your bookshelf and read Possum Magic one more time. Just don’t get too jealous about all the travel those cheeky possums got to do!
