Backyard Scavenger Hunt

This simple activity takes only minutes to prepare and can entertain kids for hours. 

Supplies:

List of items
Pencil
Clipboard
Bucket
An excited child




Take a minute to put together a simple list of plants, unique rocks, etc in your back yard. It can be anything from a leaf with a hole in it to a black ant.

Drawing pictures helps for kids still learning to read or for items they might not know the names of.


Add two spaces at the bottom for "extra credit."  Give your child the freedom to pick out something of their own that they find unique or cool. It lets them explore on their own make their own choices.
