    In case you want to use them over and over again, I highly recommend laminating your cards. Then you can use them over and over.

    Attaching the cards to the outside of a gift bag is also a fun idea. Simply tape the cards to the outside of the bag and then as the kids collect their colored items they can hold them in the bag.

    Rainbow Scavenger Hunt Questions

    Now that you are ready for your scavenger hunt, here are a few questions you might have

    What is a color scavenger hunt?

    It is a great way for your toddlers and preschoolers to get to know their colors better. It allows them to independently search for each of the colors.

    How do you play scavenger hunt with preschoolers?

    We find that the easiest way to have a scavenger hunt with preschoolers is to make sure there are items of every color setup in your scavenger hunt area. Grab enough for each child and place them throughout the house and or yard.

    How many items should be on a scavenger hunt?

    It's important to have at least one item of every color. In the case you want to make it that much more difficult, you could leave one color out and see if they can use their imagination.
