Check out the Autumn nature scavenger hunt thats perfect for entertaining little ones on long walks!

While some of us may mourn the end of the warm summer season, there’s actually no better time of year than Autumn to be getting out and about and making the most of nature! The crunch of leaves underfoot, the crisp Autumn air, the riot of colours that light up your local park – there’s just no beating it! Plus, you can come home and warm up with a hot chocolate or two afterwards!

Because there’s no better time to be out in nature, there’s also no better time to set up a scavenger hunt in your local park or forest for the kids! Scavenger hunts are great way to get the curious and excited about the world around them and is also a wonderful way to get some exercise in. Spice up your forest walks this Autumn with a scavenger hunt of natural items that you can even use for a couple of art projects later on! See our fun fall crafts here!

Family Walking on Path

It doesn’t have to be complicated especially with younger kids. There’s no need for rules or clues or even prizes! Nature provides all the excitement. You don’t even have to come up with the list of items, as we’ve compiled a list of things for the kids to find and spot on their nature walk, from the biggest pinecones to the smallest creepy crawlies!

So print out our list and go check out your local park or forest to get your kids to put their explorer hats on and go on the hunt for a few hours of entertainment this weekend!
