Enjoy the outdoors with this free printable spring scavenger hunt for kids. Search for birds, butterflies, tulips, and more on your next outdoor adventure.
Spring is finally here, and we are so ready for it. The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and flowers are starting to bloom. After a long winter, it feels so good to get outside again. My kids and I love going on walks this time of year.
One of our favorite spring activities is going on a nature walk with a scavenger hunt. It makes our time outside even more fun. We bring a list of spring items to look for and check them off as we find them. It’s simple, but it keeps the kids excited the whole time.
Spring is full of little wonders—birds flying around, bees buzzing, and bright flowers. When we go outside with a scavenger hunt, the kids start to notice these things more. They love looking for butterflies, rabbits, and even tiny sprouts in the ground. It’s a fun way to explore.
If you’re looking for an easy spring activity, this scavenger hunt is a great option. You don’t need anything special—just print out the list and head outside. You will be surprised at how many signs of spring you can find.
