My favorite hiding place was the closet at my grandparents’ house, behind the long coats. Such fun!

My favorite place to hide was behind the couch where I could read without anyone bothering me 🙂
My favorite place to hide from my mother was at my grandparents house who lived beside us.
We had an old barbeque made out of brick in the backyard. It still brings fond memories when I think of it.
A blanket tent under the coffee table
The attic! I would take a book with me, hide in the attic, and read. I sure miss those days.
I loved to just go to my room and shut my door. Then the world would fade away.
Ii would sit in the hallway closet with a flash light and read books. I once read all my Christmas present books and put them neatly back so no one knew. I told my mom the story when I was about 30 years old. She was amazed!
My favorite spot was in the corner with my bean bag and stuffed animals. I would just curl up and read my books!
Behind the Water Heater!
To be honest, I do not remember having a favorite place to hide, perhaps under my bed.
I found hiding spots wherever and whenever I could … behind the sofa, behind the curtains, and my favorite was under a sheet on top of the heating vent in winter with a flashlight … warm, cozy, and the heat would make the sheet billow up to form a tent of sorts. Great memory!!!
My favorite hiding place was up in a tree ???? that I would climb
My favorite hiding place was atop a beach towel in a sheltered space between the house and the detached garage.
I loved to hide under my bed
Inside my Grandma’s Cedar chest on the back porch. It took my cousins over an hour to find me. It was like hiding in a coffin I developed Claustrophobia.
I loved playing school in a little closet in our basement. It seems very silly now, but it was always so much fun.
My favorite hiding spot was in my closet. It connected to my parents’ closet and I would slide back and forth between them so I couldn’t be found. :+0
There was a tree in the backyard that was shaped perfectly for me to sit and read for hours. I loved to hide up there and get away from my brothers!
All of the neighborhood children would hang out behind my family garage because it was secluded with trees and shrubbery. We would hide out for hours talking and giggling.
up a tree, or behind some bushes against the house

or on a bike ride, away from everyone by myself
In the summer I would go down to the basement where it was cooler. I would sit on a comfy chair and read my books from the bookmobile.
I would hide under the kitchen sink!
I would hide in the shrubs. The way they grew together was perfect !
My closet was my favorite hiding spot.
I would hide in the bathroom 🙂
My favorite spot to hide as a kid was under the bathroom sink!
My favorite place to hide when I was a child was in the cherry tree in my backyard! I would take a book up there and read for hours!
The closet!
I would always hide behind our shed. And if I thought I was going to be found I would climb into the crab apple tree.
My favorite spot was in my Mom & Dad’s closet. We lived in a really OLD house that had only one closet (that happened to be in my room). This of course was used by my parents. Because of the closets location I could even take a small, plug-in table light in the closet so I could read books or take a favorite stuffed toy or doll. I would dream of growing up big enough to wear my mom’s dresses and high heels, while playing or just hanging out.
My treehouse was my favorite hiding spot
Being a country girl, my favorite childhood hiding spot was in the woods. There was a half-fallen tree (our horse) that we played on. This was a great hide-n-seek spot as they never found me. Life was so simple then…sigh!
I had a favorite tree across the street from my house. It was in the side yard of the middle school.
