A fun, interactive nature scavenger hunt that can be used by an individual student, a classroom or family.

As items are ‘discovered’ on your outdoors adventure, there is plenty of room for students to draw pictures of those items. Some letters, like the letter “Z”, may be trickier than others. This is when YOU can change it up a bit and tell students they can find things shaped like the letter “Z”. How fun!
Use at a park, a zoo, a botanical garden, on a riverwalk, at a pond or even in a backyard!
⭐This resource is designed to get students excited about exploring and recording what they find.
