On a Walk Scavenger Hunt


Have you ever been on a walk with your children and halfway through they shout that they are bored? That happens to me all of the time. So I tried this "On a Walk Scavenger Hunt". I printed simple pictures that we had a good chance of seeing on our walk. Use sticky notes or stickers to cover the pictures so that you can reuse the list again on your next walk.
Make sure to mention to your child that you might not find ALL of the things on your walk. I didn't think to do that and B was really bummed that we didn't see a cat that day!

  2. I love this idea! I take my kids out walking at least 3 days a week and they get so bored in the stroller! This will definitely help! Thanks for the GREAT idea!

  3. My kids get bored on the way back from the park... pretty much every time we go! This is great! Hopefully, it will help them focus on something other than their tired feet and thirsty throats.
