Free Nature Scavenger Hunt Printables for Kids: Enjoy some time outdoors with kids during the spring and summer with this set of two nature scavenger hunts for kids.


After a long winter, it’s always nice when some beautiful spring weather rolls in. We’ve had a lot of cold and rainy weather, but then beautiful weather for a day, which was nice.

If you have some nice weather right now, or you’re just hoping for some soon, you and your kids may enjoy going out for a nature scavenger hunt. To help you out with that, I have a brand new free printable set of nature scavenger hunt printables.

Free Nature Scavenger Hunt Printables Set

This free packet includes two different nature scavenger hunts that are perfect for spring or summer. They are best used with toddlers through early elementary school-aged children. Of course, there may be older children who will also enjoy it depending on their individual needs and abilities.

These scavenger hunts are great hands-on activities that can get your kids outside and having fun, plus they will really pay attention to their surroundings.

Since this packet is totally free, you can download it and then decide if they are right for you and your kids or students. Bonus!

What’s Included in the Nature Scavenger Hunt Printables?

This packet is a four page download. It’s a free printable with no opt-in required!

The first two pages are a cover page and terms of use/copyright page. The terms of use/copyright page also includes directions for how to use the scavenger hunt with students. You likely won’t need to make copies of either of these pages.

The packet also includes two pages of printable nature scavenger hunts.

Nature Scavenger Hunt Printable

On the page labeled as Nature Scavenger Hunt, kids can check off the following things that they see (each is written as a word and has a corresponding picture):

  • flower (here’s an easy sunflower craft with a printable template)
  • ladybug
  • rainbow
  • umbrella
  • bee (here’s a set of 10 counting mini books with an insect theme)
  • puddle
  • nest (you can make some yummy coconut nests for a treat)
  • snail
  • seeds
  • rain
  • kite
  • butterfly (here’s a free printable butterfly coloring page)

Pond Scavenger Hunt Printable

The printable labeled as Pond Scavenger Hunt can be done by a pond, lake, or bog. You also might find other nature areas that have a lot of the items on the printable. Like the other printable, this one has each item as both a written word and as a picture.

Words and pictures included on the pond scavenger hunt printable:

  • flower (how to make a paper flower with a free printable template)
  • frog
  • bee
  • butterfly (here’s a paper plate butterfly craft that includes a set of butterfly printables)
  • duck
  • log
  • cattail
  • dragonfly (here’s a set of color your own insect and friends bookmarks)
  • tadpole
  • lilypad
  • fish
  • waterlily

How to Use These Printables

1. Print one nature scavenger hunt and one pond scavenger hunt page per child. Or, if you prefer, you can work as a family or as a class on one scavenger hunt together.

These are in color, but you can print in grayscale or black and white if you prefer. (If you don’t have a color printer, this is a new version of my color laser printer, which I love.)

2. Put the scavenger hunt on a clipboard and make sure to take along a pencil, pen, or marker for marking off items as they are found. (I like this type of clipboard that opens up so you can keep other papers and supplies inside.)

3. You can make this a one day activity or use this throughout the spring or summer to try to find everything on both lists.
