numerous ideas you can find online for your kids to enjoy, such as
inside, outside, holiday themed or color-coded. With spring
approaching, nature scavenger hunts seem to be the ideal pick. Here is
a fun and creative way to get your kids outside in the sunshine and
interacting with nature.
EGG CARTON SCAVENGER HUNT:
Items you need- Empty egg cartons and crayons/markers/paint
Instructions- Give each child an empty egg carton. Once they each have
one, they get to color each cup a different color with crayons,
markers, or paint (if you want to make it more messy…I mean
enjoyable.) When they are done coloring, send the kids outside to
collect small pieces of nature- 1 piece to match each color in the egg
carton. Once each kid has placed the matching object in each cup, the
scavenger hunt is over.
This is such a hands-on, creative way to get your kids outside and
learning nature. Also, you are helping the environment by recycling
and you are almost expense free with this activity…even better!
