Printable Outdoor Scavenger Hunt directions:
STEP 1: Prepare scavenger hunt
To prepare the scavenger hunt for your kids print out a copy of the scavenger hunt, one per child and then secure the hunt to a clipboard (or find another hard surface for your child to lean on).
Go through the scavenger hunt list together to make sure your child knows what they are looking for and grab some pencils or markers.
STEP 2: Get Hunting!
Now it's time to head outdoors and go hunting for all of the items on the outdoor scavenger hunt printable list. Colour in the images of each item as you see them.
