These three boxes were hidden as part of a program with the Kalamazoo Public Library. They are all on land owned by the library at the Oshtemo branch, and are pretty easy for small children to find (with parental help, of course!)
Box 1 - Start at the flower garden behind the library. Follow the path out of the garden and through the gate. After you pass through the gate, walk towards the grassy area to the east and look for the entrance to the path. When you find the path, follow the path in a vaguely southern direction until the path splits. Ignore the path that goes to the left and keep following the path to the right. When the path splits again, keep following the path that heads off to the west. After a while, you will come to another spot where the path splits. This time, turn to the south and follow the path away from the library. A few yards later you will come to another fork in the path. The box is hidden at the base of a tree that has funny mitten-shaped leaves. (Hint- people used to make rootbeer out of this tree! Sniff a leaf if you're not sure.)
Box 2 - THIS BOX IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER. I'll replace it soon.
Box 3 - Start at the flower garden. Follow the path out of the garden and through the gate. After you pass through the gate, head north, turn 90 degrees to the right when you reach the power box, then 90 degrees left and head straight to a place where you might park your two-wheeled non-motorized transportation. Turn to the east, and walk straight to the pine tree at the edge of the parking lot. Turn 90 degrees counterclockwise. Add the number of dwarves Snow White hangs out with, and add that to the number of lives cats have, and count that number of parking spaces on your right. There is a conifer next to that space (C is for conifer, my kind of tree!). Look under that tree for the box!
