Nature Scavenger Hunt for Kids
One of the biggest hurdles of summer is keeping the kids motivated and off the ever-tempting screen time.

This is why having them get outside and enjoy as many nature scavenger hunts as possible is key.
And the good news? This free printable nature scavenger hunt for kids is jam-packed and full of awesome scavenger hunt ideas. Once you print it off, they're certain to be sprinting out the door to see what they can find.
