Children’s Scavenger Hunt {A Free Printable}

| Filed Under: Children, Kids Crafts, Printables, Tutorials

Here’s another fun idea I created earlier this summer for my little ones to help us (or me) enjoy all the laps around the block we take every single day.  Don’t get me wrong, I love walking the block but sometimes, just sometimes, it can get a little bang my head against the wall, ya feeling me?  One kid wants to go left, the other is screaming to go right and the baby is trying her hardest to Houdini it out of her stroller straps.
Do you need something fun like this to add a new dimension to your everyday-everyday?   
I kinda thought you might.
Print the Scavenger Hunt Here!

When you print the Scavenger Hunt out you will get FOUR cards per sheet.  I print mine on a heavy cardstock.   Take a scissors or a paper cutter and cut them apart.  Then just give your kids a crayon, a little marker or even stickers and let them search high and low finding each picture on the card.

We always find lots of American flags on our walks.  It’s so fun to hear Penelope yell out when she’s spotted one, ‘Mare-can Fwag!  Mare-can Fwag!‘  Finding them just might be the highlight of her day.  
Partway through you just may need to sit down in someone’s driveway and scan your card to see what you have left to find…this is hard work peeps!
Oooh, Oooh!  Flowers…12 o’clock!  Check and done!!

When you’ve found every single last item you know it’s time to let your baby sister have at the card…she is so excited over the prospect of getting some card play…time to get a little slobbery dude!
Enjoy!!
XOXO,

    What a cute idea! If I did one I’d have to alter it, I think we’d have to take quite a long walk to find an american flag… they are around, just not so much!

    Love it! Love it! LA-VA it! Now, is there an extended version for long trips, in the South? You know, we have some very special road-side jewels here in the south – boiled p-nut stands, cars on blocks, crazy stuff! That would be fun for kids and parents alike – Ha!

    This is great! I’ve done this once, but I drew the objects to find. I think my drawings took longer than our walk! Thanks for the printable. 🙂

    I am having a hard time printing this. When I click on the link, only the leaf prints and when I click to download, it looks like I have to pay to get access to the document to print it. Thanks in advance for your help.

  35. AudnZaxMom says

    April 25, 2012 at 2:12 pm

    It was me after all – thanks so much for this! (User error is usually the case for me…) 🙂 Have a great day!

    I am having the same problem as AudnZaxMom had: Scribd wants me to pay for access. How do I bypass this?

  37. Kimber says

    May 4, 2012 at 11:17 pm

    I right clicked on the image and chose “save as”. It was then a picture on my computer and I could then print it….hope that helps! 🙂
