Spring is a brilliant time to get the kids outdoors, and there’s no better excuse than a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt. Our free printable Spring Scavenger Hunt is designed to get children looking, moving and noticing the little signs of the season all around them — blossoms, birds, bugs and everything in between.
It’s a simple, no-fuss activity that works for a back garden, a local park, or a walk around the neighbourhood. All you need is the printout, something to write or tick with, and a bit of curiosity.
