If you’re looking for something to keep the kids occupied while getting some fresh air, these nature scavenger hunt ideas for kids should help you out.
I’ve included different nature scavenger hunt ideas including colors, shapes, sounds, insects, and even a blank copy for you to fill in with whatever you’d like.
These hunts are not only great for nature walks, but they can be used in your own garden or even while looking out from a balcony.

Nature scavenger hunt: colors
This is a good option for kids just learning their colors, such as toddlers and preschoolers. I’ve included the names of the colors as well as the actual color in each box so this can be printed in black and white if needed.

Nature scavenger hunt: shapes
This is a good option for preschoolers and early grade schoolers. If you need to be creative to find some of the shapes, we found looking for shapes in the clouds or patterns made in the leaves worked well.
