Elf candy cane scavenger hunt
Elf on the Shelf has been a holiday favorite for kids everywhere, and with our little hack, you can make it extra special without breaking a sweat. The candy cane scavenger hunt printable is as simple as it is fun.
This Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt is free for personal use and classroom use only. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the free pdf file.
Print the page on white cardstock, if you are using regular copy paper I highly recommend laminating it. Then cut it out and grab 12 candy canes. See I told you it was easy!
How to pull off the candy cane hunt
The night before, make sure the printable is snuggled up with your Elf on the Shelf so your kiddos spot it first thing in the morning.
Hide the 12 candy canes around your home or classroom.
When your little ones wake up, they’ll discover a note from their elf. It starts with, “Guess what we’ve done while you were asleep? We hid 12 candy canes all around the house, just for you to find!”
The note challenges your kiddos to go on a super cool candy cane scavenger hunt. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, is to find all 12 hidden candy canes scattered around the house.
Once they complete their mission, a sweet treat awaits them – the candy canes they’ve been hunting for!
The looks of pure joy and laughter as they search for candy canes will warm your heart. Plus, this sweet tradition is all about making precious memories that’ll stay with your family for years to come.
