PREPARING THE EASTER SCAVENGER HUNT

Save the Easter Scavenger Hunt PDF to your hard drive and load your printer with heavy printer paper or cardstock.  Set your printer to the highest quality print settings.  Print out the single page PDF. Then use a pair of scissors or a paper cutter to cut the individual scavenger hunt clues apart.  

The clues for this hunt will lead to the following places:

• Fill me with seeds and put me up high, my dinner guests all come from the sky. (bird feeder)
• You use me when the plants are thirsty for a drink, by filling me with water that comes from the sink! (watering can)
• I live outside and have many green leaves. I grow big and tall and the birds live in me! (tree)
• My insides are full of paper and ink, but I am not a book like you might think. (printer)
• Wondering where the next clue will be found? I wash your clothes and go ‘round and around. (washing machine)
• To find where your next clue might be: You put bread in my belly, and it comes out crispy. (toaster)
• The easter bunny travels with a hop, hop, hop, go check the bookcase and look towards the top. (top bookshelf)
• I’m a machine that cooks quick food to eat. When I’m finished working, I go beep, beep, beep. (microwave)

Don’t stress if you don’t have some of these items in or near your home. You can eliminate any of the clues without messing up the hunt.  For example, if you don’t have a watering can, you can just throw that clue away.

Begin by placing the clues cards around your home, ensuring that each clue leads to the location of the next clue.  The final clue should lead your kids to the location of the hidden Easter basket.
