Used to make "old" hand-drawn treasure maps for the kids when they were little - stained using tea - and they thought they looked pretty authentic!
When I was a kid (<10) "someone" made a map invite to a neighbor's birthday party. The map was on onion paper strained with what I assume was tea and they had burned all the edges.
It really looked like a treasure map and had all sorts of clues. We scoured the neighborhood for hidden items that were clues to the actual puzzle.
Simple things like that I remember decades later.
Of course, we never locked the doors and both parents worked and we were left on our own all each day over summer vacation. Had to make our own sandwich for lunch or starve. Seemed to get along regardless of our sexes or colors.
The good old days...
