Free Garden Scavenger Hunt Printable (for Outside Fun)

Like What You See? Tell Your Friends!

Get the kids outside exploring with our free garden scavenger hunt printable.

Scavenger hunt printables are so much fun, we loved them when the kids were really little, but even now our son is in middle school he and his friends have so much with them.

Now to be fair it is now a competition to see who wins first for bragging rights, but it’s totally worth it.

We have never been very keen gardeners, until recently.

In fact, I am still not. I can take care of children, but plants and flowers not so much!

My husband on the other hand since turning 50 a few years ago has now developed a love of gardening. So much so, my son now calls him Flower Boy!

So I have created this for my husband, as I think I am pretty funny! But in all seriousness, the kids are going to love getting outside and exploring.
