Ilderton Scavenger Hunt

With the warmer weather here, the kids and I have been spending more time outside.  In an effort to keep my 3 year old entertained on our walks, I have devised a scavenger hunt.  This scavenger hunt will keep her busy on our walks and teach her about our neighbourhood.  

I created this in microsoft word and used clip art for the images.  I used images that we often see on our daily walks.  We have a park, pond and busy main street nearby.

After I printed it out in colour, I went to the dollar store and bought some lamination paper and gave my three year old a dry erase marker.  This will keep her busy for a couple of walks and cut down on garbage and reprinting.

Do you think that I am missing any important images?  What would you add to your own scavenger hunt?

Happy parenting,

St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt

I have always wanted to start some holiday traditions while my daughter is young and will enjoy them.  Since my daughter is three now, we can really get into the holidays!

For St. Patties Day, I wanted to do a great scavenger hunt.

I found this amazing one at Oopsey Daisy.  A mom created a treasure hunt for her son.  It comes with some great printable clues and a cheat sheet for the destinations.

I printed out the clues and glued them to green construction paper since I do not have a laminator.  I found a few candies in my secret candy stash and picked up some coins and a tiara from the dollar store.

I am really excited to see how this goes down on Saturday!

Do you have any St. Patrick's day traditions that you share with your children? Please comment if you do.

Happy parenting,
