Nature Scavenger Hunt for the Kids {FREE Printable}

in Printables on

Sharing is caring!

I’m pretty excited to be sharing one of my favorite outdoor activities with you today!

Yes, it might be a little hot this summer, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun exploring the great outdoors! Take the kids out early  morning or mid evening to beat the heat and have a little fun with this Nature Scavenger Hunt.

This game is great learning tool for the kids that helps them interact with their surroundings. They’ll have a ball searching high and low for all the goodies on their list!

There’s 20 items total to find on the list, including special items of a certain color, shape and texture.

I also included some name tags that you can adhere to brown paper bags. Below is a blank version that you can add your kids’ names onto with PicMonkey, Photoshop or even Paint. Another option is just add the names in marker or stickers!

Trim out the name tags and attach to your paper bags. Great way to hold all the goodies the kids are collecting in the nature scavenger hunt!

This Nature Scavenger Hunt is great for any time of year, but definitely a fun activity for your stay-at-home Summer Campers! Fantastic last minute activity before they head back to school!

    I was amazed at the design and then I read your about me sidebar (of course you’re an art director) . Great design work. Great idea.

    Erin! So much fun! I’m definitely using your printables for our family reunion (collecting ideas for kids and your timing is perfect). I’ll also be including a link back in this week’s highlights. Thanks so much for sharing and the awesome free printables!

      Stacy, make sure you’re saving it to your desktop first before printing. Then open the file from your desktop. If you’re still having trouble, try clicking “Fit to Page” option in your printer dialog box. Hope that helps!

    Thanks for sharing your talent, Erin! I found your website while looking for a nature scavenger hunt to use in our children’s ministry program. We’ll be using your scavenger hunt this Sunday. I have your website bookmarked and have passed your site address along to a friend who is a crafter and a school librarian.

    P.S. Stacy, thanks for your question. I was experiencing the same challenge when trying to print.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing these for free! What a fabulous idea…so cute! I’m using them for my Girl Scout troop, as my Brownies are working on their Making Games badge. Having a scavenger hunt is one of the steps required to earn the badge.
