Kids Craft: Backyard Scavenger Hunt

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a fun kids craft tutorial. This DIY Backyard Scavenger Hunt created with Self-Laminating Cards is a great way for kids to learn about the world around us and get active outside!

Self-Laminating Cards are cold laminating, which means this project does not require an expensive machine! Plus, these cards are clear and durable. The glossy finish works perfectly with dry erase markers, making these game boards erasable and reusable!

How to Create Scavenger Hunt Game Boards

Use a word processing program to create a letter-size (8.5 x 11 inch) scavenger hunt game board. Add a title and a stock image to the top of the page. Insert a small table on the bottom half of the page. Print several copies of the game board.

Cut images from an educational workbook or magazine. Use the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of each image. Press one image into each square of the table on the bottom half of the scavenger hunt game board.

How to Use Self-Laminating Cards

Align a scavenger hunt game board inside an XL Self-Laminating Card. Remove the liner and press across the surface to seal. Look at this quick How to Use Self-Laminating Cards video below.

How to Play

To play the game, use a dry erase marker to cross off images seen while exploring the yard. When all items are found, simply wipe away the dry erase ink with a tissue to clean the board.

Thanks for stopping by today! I created my scavenger hunt game board for little explorers, but this design can be easily adapted to include clues for children of all ages.
