The bounty of summer and the season of wildflower bouquets, sunny beach afternoons and eating out of gardens is upon us! Here is a summer scavenger hunt for the whole family, that delights all the senses and gets you out exploring nature's  beauty. A wonderful way to soak up the hot days, blue skies and the new bursting life all around.

You Will Need:

  •          printable summer scavenger hunt (PDF)
  •          marker, pencil, crayons or dry-erase marker
  •          basket
  •          plastic page protector or laminator (optional)
  •          clipboard (optional)

Instructions:

1. Print out the scavenger hunt. (Click either image to open the two-page printable PDF!)

2. If you want to re-use the scavenger hunt again and again, you can slide the scavenger hunt into a plastic page protector or laminate it. Use a dry-erase marker to mark items as you find them.

3. I suggest putting the list on a clipboard and tying the marker or pencil to the clipboard. This makes the activity easier for kids (and parents—no more lost markers!).

4. Find a basket to hold the scavenger hunt finds, if desired.

5. Put on your sun hats and head on out into the beauty!
