Recipe for Playful Learning!
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.
