nature hunt

Fall is absolutely all around us this past week and we had to take the kids up in the mountains to see it all. Looking at leaves isn’t exactly thrilling for anyone pre-college years, so we put together an easy scavenger hunt to buy us some time to take it all in and give them something fun to do.

Was a bone on the hunt list? Nope. Isn’t it funny what kids fixate on? Anytime they found something small enough we’d tape it on with washi tape.

This is definitely geared towards a younger crowd, but it was a hit! They held on tight to their papers and ran around yelling “Let’s explore!”  Download your own below! Clip art Images obtained via clker.com

          Haha, Sarah this is Emily now, we’re a little sensitive to the subject because everyone keeps saying how pretty our girls are haha! Guess we need to take them in for a hair cut or something. We’re dying to work with you on a kid’s refashion, would you want to?
