Leaf scavenger hunt - free printable!

Published: Mar 12, 2024 by Morgan Β· This post may contain affiliate links Β·

Embark on a nature-filled journey with our Leaf Scavenger Hunt for kids! Download the free printable and discover the diversity of leaves in your backyard or local park. A fun, engaging way to learn about the environment.

As seasons change, so does the world around us, and what better way to celebrate and learn about these changes than with a Leaf Scavenger Hunt?

This activity is not just for fun; it's a hands-on learning experience that teaches kids about the diversity of plant life, the science of leaves, and the beauty of the changing seasons.

After the excitement generated by our grocery store scavenger hunt, we were inspired to create something equally engaging but with a focus on the natural world.

We are thrilled to introduce you to our Leaf Scavenger Hunt and provide a free printable to make organizing this nature-filled adventure as easy as a breeze!

How to Organize Your Leaf Scavenger Hunt

Setting up a memorable Leaf Scavenger Hunt is simple with these helpful tips:

  • Prepare the Printables: Our free printable includes two pages designed to help kids distinguish between green leaves and those with fall colors, featuring a variety of species to find.
  • Explain the Rules: Teach kids how to gently collect leaves without harming the trees. Encourage them to observe the shapes, sizes, and colors.
  • Learning Opportunities: Use the scavenger hunt as a chance to discuss why leaves change color, the importance of trees in the ecosystem, and the different types of trees found in your area.
  • Safety First: Always prioritize safety by keeping the hunt in easily navigable areas and supervising younger participants.
