Outdoors, indoors or any room in the house - kids love scavenger hunts!

STEP 1: Depending on your location, make a list of items for the hunt.

STEP 2: Share the list with your kids and give them a time limit.

STEP 3: Upon discovery of each item, have the kids check it off their list and then have them take a picture of each found item with a camera.

STEP 4: Later on, print out the pictures and help your kids create a photo album of their “finds” labeling each picture.
