I have never heard of Hog Gowls- can you tell I am a Yankee!

This year Father Time is going to leave a basket for my DD4 with little brown bags with clocks on the fronts showing different times of when to open them (I believe I got this idea at OC) in the bags there will be: a clue of where to find new calendar, coloring pages, party hat to decorate, snacks, poppers, noisemakers (this will be left for last due to noises , etc.

That is really cute!!! I might adapt this one for my boys (ages by then almost 9, and 7 yr old twins). They are really into math so I might make math solving problems to get to their clues!!!!!!
