The counting is creative so you have to be really quick to hide and once hidden we call out hotter or colder to give the seeker some help. At first Little Miss really didn't get the concept of hiding and would just cover her face with her hands, but now she is often the hardest to find. She curls up very small and still.
I love the kids faces when they find me. They are so surprised and we all end up laughing for some silly reason.
Hide in the sink is teaching my kids to have a really good look, not just a quick glance around. Looking is a really important skill, useful for finding that piece of lego they need, or finding a pair of matching socks, finding their school bag, lunch box, reader, hat, drink bottle and later in life car keys, glasses, handbag and even the butter.

Hide in the sink, love it! I used to play that with my two when they were little.
Joseph, Charlie and I play hide and seek often and always have a great time.
Your posts always inspire me Chapter Forty and I feel so blessed to have you as a blogging friend.
I am off on another wonderful adventure to the USA and Norway tomorrow and will be away for 6 weeks.
Take care dear friend and I will "see" you when I return.
Namaste, love and light.

Hide and seek is Princess' favourite game too. Admittedly, she gives up pretty easily, and I found standing behind the laundry door for 5 minutes a little tiring LOL.
Princess also hides in the same spot EVERY time, so for mum and dad more effort goes into NOT trying to find her!
My girls love Hide and Seek although they do have fav. spots to hide in and I can usually find them there.
Whenever any of our special toys get lost or Daddy has lost his keys (AGAIN!) we say 'they are playing hide and seek'. Something being 'lost' is so final and scary but if it is playing hide and seek it means it will come back again and is not permanently lost.
Hiding in the sink may be a challenge for some of us but curiously no one in our family has tried it before, even you when you were smaller! You did however manage to hide on top the refrigerator at Port Vincent and we had to give up as no one could find you.
Great post.
Love the picture in the laundry basket. I use to put my grandson in the laundry hamper when I was doing laundry. He loved it. It was all cozy and he would snuggle with a blanket too. Thanks for the post it brought back fond memories.
We have been discovering Hide and Seek recently too. Immy also covers her eyes in an attempt to hide which is just too cute. We are slowly getting the idea...
