    Fun Summer Scavenger Hunt For Kids

    April 2, 2021 /

    This summer, I am hoping more than anything that we have, first of all, our vaccines. Second of all, I hope we have some chances to explore and have fun together. If you are looking for some easy and fun activities to do with family, then you might enjoy my summer scavenger hunt. It’s anybody’s guess what the summer will look like. But, it has to be better than this. Hopefully we have all had our first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine and we can rest a little easier than we are currently. What’s on Your Mind this Summer? But even if we are close to home and spending all…

    Cute St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

    February 23, 2021 /

    Well, I know it’s not exactly right around the corner or anything but here’s to St. Patrick’s Day. This year, we are celebrating with a St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt and maybe some green foods or drinks. It was St. Patrick’s Day roughly in 2020 when Coronavirus kicked it up a great deal and sent us all for a loop here. Our spring break vacation was cancelled entirely when the border between Canada and the US was closed to travel. That was a very hard period of time and the start of a long haul through 2020. But, here we are closer to the end of this pandemic. Still Struggling?…

    Easy Fun Five Senses Sensory Scavenger Hunt + Printable

    February 18, 2021 /

    A sensory scavenger hunt is perfect for so many kids. Whether they are sensory seekers or avoiders, there’s a little something for any child here. Some of you by now are aware that my kids have a fair number of sensory issues. So sensory stuff here is second nature. And I am sure that you know that we love scavenger hunts. My oldest would literally still do this actually. She is the crafty kind of kid who lives to get outside exploring and then brings what she has found indoors to build something crafty or creative with it. I am always up for a walk, so that works for me.…

    Well, here we sit in the middle of cold and flu season during a pandemic. Why not download this Sick Day Scavenger Hunt and keep it for those days when you need a little something low key to do at home. Colds Happen. Be Prepared That’s pretty much my Motto.

    How to Create a Fun Winter Scavenger Hunt

    December 9, 2020 /

    A Winter Scavenger hunt is a great way to get outside and have some fun, with social distancing in mind of course. It’s easy to find ways to get and be out of doors when the spring and summer months are here. But winter gets a bad wrap that way. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers.

    Here’s an easy way to cope with birthdays this year. Why not give a birthday scavenger hunt a try? Tenth Birthday Celebrations When both of my girls turned ten, we did some amazing fun things to celebrate their birthdays. Together, with my entire family we took my oldest girl to Disney and the Kennedy Space Centre. My youngest got tickets to see Katie Perry in concert with us. But, before we gave her the tickets we did a birthday scavenger hunt. Hidden Clues I hid clues around the house and they led her on a quick tour to find the next clue. One by one she turned them over and…
