Scavenger Hunts

Sometimes it's fun to turn the ordinary into something a little more fun. One of the ways I have started doing this is to make our regular walks into scavenger hunts!  I came across the idea on another blog and as usual can't remember where (I need to start noting these things!).

To make one in Publisher just go to "Table," then "Insert," put as many columns and rows as you want. Insert clip art of whichever pictures you want. Lastly create word boxes, choose your font and put the corresponding words by the pictures.

I choose things I know we will come across and making them seasonal is extra fun. It's a good idea to print them on card stock to make it a bit sturdier since a toddler will be manhandling it but you could also put it in a page protector. We simply look for the objects and get very excited and cheer when we find them.  Next I will be making one that will be for listening. It will have a dog, airplane, car, bird, and I'm not sure what else.  

Happy hunting!
