Do your kids love scavenger or treasure hunts? Last year I made a nature scavenger hunt for kids, my boys loved using it around the neighborhood looking all sorts of items from nature. They found everything from bugs to leaves and just marked them off on their laminated list with a dry erase marker. This made it easy to reuse the scavenger hunt over and over.
I have found lots of ways to incorporate scavenger hunts into other activities too like visiting the zoo or a camping weekend. By changing up the lists slightly, you have a whole new way to use your scavenger hunt.
Be sure to stop by and check out all these fun scavenger hunt ideas! They all have free printables so that you can start using them right away! Some of them even have photos so that younger children can get involved too! Enjoy!

Chrissy,
I am intrigued with your laundry detergent recipe. I look forward to trying it. I’ve made liquid detergent but it’s challenging to store and dispense. How much detergent do you use for a regular load?
