This scavenger hunt idea came after K's getting tired of being inside working and us needing a change. I was also getting frustrated because he was doing more whining and complaining at learning time. So I thought and prayed and after an episode of
Calliou where he went on a scavenger hunt, I decided we could do a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood.
I gave the K and G a list of things to look for as we walked around the neighborhood. For these two scavenger hunts (one group of which I have shown below), we focused on colors, letters, numbers, shapes, and K's favorite, car types. the first time we went out, I simply gave them pencils with which they wrote directly on the paper; the second time around I put these cards in sheet protectors and let them use dry erase crayons as they found their items, which worked out great. For M, I just gave him a piece of cardstock with shapes and numbers on them for him to look at while we were walking if he so desired, and most of the time, he didn't, but he had fun nonetheless. K and G also have some cameras they got for their birthday, so they also took pictures. At times, this proved to be more of a hassle, so we ended up taking a few pictures here and there on our second walk.

Some great things about this was that it was easy, fun, and got us out of the house!
