Here in Greenville, S.C. we have a great mouse hunt on Main Street. Bronze mice are scattered up and down the street. Some are easy to find and others are quite difficult. I took my nephews down to search for them. We had a print out of clues that I found on the Mouse on Main website.
The mice are very popular and have even had a children’s book written about them called MICE ON MAIN: HOW NINE BRONZE MICE CAME TO LIVE ON MAIN STREET.

JDaniel is a little young to find most of the mice. I pointed one out to him when we were downtown for a Touch-a-Truck event. He thought mice statues were in his words silly.
I decided to have him decorate some mice with glitter glue and crayons. I would hide them around the house. He was given clues as to where I hid the mice. He had a blast.
Awesome Im in SC too. Union, SC Nice to “meet” a close bloggy mama
What fun! Our city has mermaids, but their huge and easy for anyone to spot. 🙂
Sounds like a fun time! How cool that they wrote a book about the mouse hunt on main street!
What a fun thing for Greenville to do! In my hometown of Chicago it’s cows. In Nashville it’s catfish. I think mouse would be much more of a challenge to find.
That is the coolest thing they do! I LOVE IT!!!
Sounds great.
How fascinating! It’s awesome that you “modified” the tradition to allow him to have fun his own way.
What a cute idea!
That is such a neat thing for the city to have! I love how you created your own mouse hunt at home, that is really cool!
What a cute Idea! Love it!
How fun!!!!
Wow, wish we had stuff like that here…
What a creative way for him to participate! Sounds like you live in such a great community.
He sounds like such a precious angel. What wonder he must see in all the world around him. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute idea! I am glad you had pretend mice and not real ones. Eeek.
This sounds like an amazing event! I’m not that far from Greenville, so maybe we’ll have to try it out next year.
I didn’t realize you lived so close to me; it’s always fun to find a local blogger! The group that met up last night is a Charlotte bloggers meetup group. If you go to the meetup website, you should be able to track it down. Aside from that, if you ever want to meet up for a cup of coffee and a blogging chat, just let me know. Have a great weekend!
Stopping by from Mom Loop. What a fun game for JDaniel! Georgia would love a game like this – she’s really into Blue’s Clues and finding things so she can scream and point. Thanks for the inspiration to play this with G! Hope your weekend is great!
Cute idea to hide them!
Great way to bring it to his level.
