Scavenger Hunt Ideas

Back to News

The children love a  scavenger hunt - you can screen shot these ideas and when you are out and about for a walk you can ask them to find the objects on the list.  We also have scavenger hunts for inside the house.  We normally give the children a basket or a box to collect what they have to find.  Then they can count how many objects they can find and use the items to create stories with their small world character.
