Fall Scavenger Hunt

by Angela Thayer Leave a Comment

fall scavenger hunt

A fun way to celebrate fall is to go on a fall scavenger hunt. It's a good way to soak in the sights, smells, and sounds of fall. It also helps you slow down and appreciate the season. It's my favorite season of all but always seems to go by too quickly. This printable is designed to use three senses: eyes for sight, nose for smell, and ears for hearing. The first page is all about sight. The goal is to find all 10 items as you go for a walk or look around your neighborhood. The … [Read more...]

Winter Scavenger Hunt

winter scavenger hunt

Winter is almost here! It feels like winter in Iowa already, so I decided to create a fun winter scavenger hunt for kids! I made one for fall, and it was a big hit! I know we stay indoors more often in the winter, but this scavenger hunt would be a great chance to get some fresh air outside! There are three sheets to this scavenger hunt. The first one is one you could do from indoors, if it was too cold outside. It's basically a "search for" activity. The goal is to try to find all ten … [Read more...]

Scavenger Hunt in a Box

by Angela Thayer Leave a Comment

Happy fall! This is my absolute favorite time of the year! It's just starting to feel like fall in Iowa and we had so much fun enjoying the beautiful weather this past weekend. It made me think of an idea for a scavenger hunt in a box for little ones. A few weeks ago, I shared my fall sensory scavenger hunt checklist, but this activity would be easier for younger children. Everything is added to a box and they don't need to check off what they find. Materials for Scavenger Hunt in a … [Read more...]

No-cost, Low-Prep Preschool Activities

by Rachael Alley Leave a Comment

No-cost, low-prep preschool activities

When I first started homeschooling with my oldest, I had so much fun planning themed lessons. I would pride myself on finding free printables that I would laminate and cut out. We would play new games every week! I soon realized after having a 2nd child, I had less time to do this prep work. So, naturally, when I had my 3rd I had to face reality that time for prep work had gone down considerably and I had to prioritize spending time with kids instead of prepping as much. Therefore, I knew I … [Read more...]

Fire Safety Activities for Kids

by Rachael Alley 2 Comments

fire safety activities for kids

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.  Fire Safety Week is October 7th-13th this year. I have to be totally honest we’ve never done fire safety week at our house before. Before now I would have not known what to do in an emergency situation. I feel like we should’ve addressed this sooner, especially since the house behind us had a bad fire recently. Since this was a new topic for me I approached it like all themes. I listed out what I wanted the kids to learn and then put … [Read more...]
