printable zoo scavenger hunt for kids

Zoo Scavenger Hunt Checklist

The first zoo-themed scavenger hunt is a popular zoo animal checklist. Circle the animals as you find them at the zoo. Go in any order. With zoo animal photos, this activity is very easy for preschoolers and younger kids. However, if your focus is older kids, don’t toss this zoo animal checklist. Use it for your scavenger hunt at the zoo for adults and older kids.

Zoo Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

Is your crowd older? Then use our extra fun zoo scavenger hunt riddles. In this clue based scavenger hunt, read each of the clue cards with zoo animal facts. As you read the clue, uncover the answer. Each zoo animal answer is also found on the zoo scavenger hunt checklist – so with the name of the animal, it keeps things simple and from anyone getting stumped.

How to organize a scavenger hunt at the zoo

Having a public scavenger hunt can always be a little bit of a challenge. This is because zoos are open to the general public and hiding clue cards might be challenging when you don’t’ want anyone to mess up your scavenger hunt. In addition, getting from one size of the zoo to the other size is a hike. Most people find they have covered miles walking at the end of the day.

Because of both the size and people at a zoo, it’s best to keep this scavenger hunt on you all day long. The checklist will be easy. As you pass the animals, circle the animal you have found. See if you can get a fun pattern of circles are even turn it into a BINGO board. How fast can you get five across or five down or five diagonal.

If using the clue cards, give your child all the clues up front. They can read the clues and solve which animal is what. You can also hold on to the zoo map and before you hit a section (say the safari section of the zoo), hand them all the clues that fit the safari animals.

Alternatively, save the entire set of cards for before or even after the zoo visit. They can review animals and fun facts about zoo animals found at their zoo.

While these zoo scavenger hunt riddles cover 20 common zoo animals, all these animals might not be at the zoo you visit. You can take out those clue cards or keep them in for fun.

Can this zoo scavenger hunt be done at home?

Why not? Grab a pen and clipboards and use each of the printables and turn your own house into a zoo. There are a few fun ways to have a zoo scavenger hunt at home.Go on a virtual online zoo tour using some of the popular zoos we listed or turn your house into a pretend zoo. Using dramatic play and place stuffed animals around your home (or print out popular zoo animal pictures) and turn each room into a zoo animal habitat. Older kids can even help set up the at home zoo for younger kids. name different rooms as habitats like Grassland, Rainforest, Tundra, etc.

Help someone beat the winter blues with this DIY care package. It includes fun gift ideas and free printables for making a cute box of sunshine gift.

cute box of sunshine diy care package free printable

Care packages are a great way to show someone you care, especially if they are going through a tough time. You can make a care package for anyone – a friend, family member, or even a stranger. They’re perfect all year long because kindness is always in season! Put together a box of sunshine for someone today with this easy DIY care package tutorial and fun care package printable!

DIY Care Package

A care package is a gift box full of fun items. This can be a parcel or cardboard box filled with activities, foods, trinkets, luxury items and/or thoughtful gifts. They are typically sent to a person through the mail service (FedEx, USPS, UPS) but can also be hand delivered.

A care package doesn’t have to be expensive, but it should be thoughtful and personal. There are so many different ways to make a care package. You can include anything you think the recipient would appreciate, whether it’s food, activities, or just some words of encouragement. The sky’s the limit!

What do I put in a care package?

What happens when an amazing, scrapbook-loving mother of five starts loosing kids to college? She transfers her scrapbook making to college care packages. Kristen, an amazing mother and friend, has created some of the best care package ideas I have ever seen. She starts with a theme and she gets rolling with incredible items to put inside the packages.

You don’t have to be a mother of five or a former scrap-booker to make amazing gift boxes. You simply have to know what to put inside a care package. To make your own care package, start by gathering all of the items you want to include. Try to stay on a theme and go from there. Of course, the theme can be “a few of my favorite things…” (meaning personalize it to yourself and the gift receiver.)

Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose a few items from each category to make a special treat the gift receiver is sure to love!

Food Items: non-perishable snacks, candy, gum, tea, coffee, favorite foods, healthy snacks

Activities and Entertainment: books, puzzles, board games, crafts, adult coloring books

Encouragement: positive affirmations, encouraging quotes, a handwritten note, bible verse cards 

Trinkets: Mugs, bookmarks, framed photo, postcard with a sweet gift message, favorite items

Once you have your care box items, it’s time to put together your care package!

Care Package Ideas

If you’re still not sure what items you’d like to add to your care package, take a few minutes to think about the person you’re giving it to. For example, a care package for a college student during exams might have some fun snacks, maybe a soft blanket, and a calendar of positive sayings.

Do they love sewing? Maybe reading is more their thing. It could be that their favorite thing in the world is you and some photos, and handmade items would be the perfect choice.

Care Package Ideas might include…

College

While many of us might have memories of late night parties and the ability to do whatever we want, college can be difficult. Being a way from home can leave college students feeling lonely and a bit insecure when it comes to new situations on campus. A college care package is perfect for reminding a young adult suffering from homesickness how much you love them. College care package ideas and opportunities are available all year long. Sweet treats and baked goods offer a taste of home during semester and final exams (add extra for the roommates!) In addition, college kids will appreciate a package offering a re-stockpile of essentials, school supplies, basic needs, and décor for the dorm room.

Military

Service members and/or military families will appreciate trinkets from home. Any family over seas or in a foreign country  can tell you there are things they miss form home. Military care package ideas can include a piece of home include candies, foods and treats found in your common grocery store. This can include men and women on deployment or military spouses and kids displaced by service in a foreign country.

Birthday

You say it’s your birthday! Celebrate the birthdays of family and friends with a special occasion gift box. This can be something sent over UPS or even hand delivered yourself. A birthday care package is an excellent time to add the recipients favorite things. If working on a budget, put a birthday gift box together with the help of fellow family and friends for a really large and special care package.

Holidays

Play into the theme of a the holidays and make sure to include some of the most random holidays too. Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day and St. Patricks’ Day are all perfect times to send a care package. Toss in all the themed candies and snack items that fit the holiday theme.  For example, for Christmas include holiday lights, Christmas tree cakes, some of your favorite cookies, hot cocoa and maybe even an ugly Christmas sweater.

Many might say Jesus and basketball have no correlation.  If you’re not a fan of basketball, I get why you would feel this way. However if you child love an oversized orange ball and the glow of lights on  wooden court, then this basketball and Jesus thing might have something in common. Commonalities can include joy, excitement, and thrill.

Let’s continue….

How can I add basketball in Elf on the Shelf ideas?

Does your child love basketball? There are a few resources available for your Elf on the Shelf that will create a perfect Elf basketball idea.

First, the Elf on the Shelf website has an adorable basketball board you can print. This does list the Scout Elves at Play kit in the supplies but I think you can easily put this idea together without the kit.

Etsy has a few Elf Basketball Ideas too. I think Etsy creators are just so creative including when it comes to the Elf season. I say that a little biased, because I have an Etsy Elf shop too!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
