After the amount of snow we experienced this winter you can imagine our excitement that spring has officially sprung in our parts. The grasses have greened up, the plants are all beginning to grow, our daffodils and other flowers have emerged from the ground and are giving us a perfectly colorful yard.
We’ve also been waking up to birds chirping early every morning and all of the little critters are beginning to emerge. The beautiful spring season is a perfect time to get the kids outdoors for a nature scavenger. Here are 8 fun and simple spring nature scavenger hunts for kids.
Some of these fun spring nature scavenger hunts have printables for easy set up and the others require only a few materials that you most likely already have on hand at home.
