Winter's embrace can be a magical and beautiful time of year.

Kids love playing in the great outdoors and exploring it with all their senses. Here's a fun winter scavenger hunt for the whole family to enjoy!

You Will Need:

  • printable winter scavenger hunt (PDF)
  • marker, pencil, crayons or dry erase marker
  • basket

  • clipboard (optional)

Instructions:

2. If you want to reuse 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 all your scavenger hunt finds.

5. Bundle up well and head on out into your winter wonderland!
