If you’re looking for a fun activity to do with the kids in your neighborhood, consider this fun neighborhood scavenger hunt PDF!

Let’s get outdoors and begin our local treasure hunt!

What is a scavenger hunt?

A scavenger hunt is a game similar to a treasure hunt. Players collect or identify specific items, usually specified on a list or given in a series of clues. Players are given a list of items to find or collect. This collection can be a collection of similar things or a series of clue cards. There are two different types of scavenger hunt hunts…

  • Scavenger Hunt Checklist
  • Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

A scavenger hunt can be casual or can be a timed race.  It can be played individually or with a team. There are a few examples of how to declare a winner in a scavenger hunt…

  • Man vs clock: Each player races to beat another players time.
  • Man vs Man: Multiple players go at the same time. The winner finishes the race first.
  • Team vs Team: Players work together to finish their scavenger hunt before the other team finishes first.

At the end of a scavenger treasure hunt there is a prize. The first player to find or collect all the items on the list or complete the rhyming riddles wins the game.  Examples of scavenger hunt prizes can include…

  • holiday gifts
  • birthday presents
  • party favors
  • small prizes
  • a series of items that lead to a larger clue (for example letters to unscramble)
  • candy

How to Prepare for a Scavenger Hunt

Decide on the area you will be searching. This could be your neighborhood, a local park, playground or even your own backyard. In this case, you’ll be doing the scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and by foot or car depending on your area.

Put together clues in the form of a checklist or clue cards. For example, in a scavenger hunt checklist, make a list of items for the players to find or collect. The list can be as simple or complex as you like. For example, at a Safari Themed Party, players might collect different animals found in the jungle that are hiding in the party venue.

If you are created ideas for scavenger hunt clues for kids, you want to have a consecutive list of places you want the kids to go. Then you offer clues so that they find that location.

neighborhood scavenger hunt clue card ideas

An example of a scavenger hunt clue for kids is…

Check out the pathway on the side of the street. On the concrete is a clue for you to meet.

Start the town scavenger hunt. Print out the cards or checklist, and choose the area of the neighborhood you’ll be working in.

What’s in this Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt?

For this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable set, there are actually two types of neighborhood scavenger hunt ideas to choose from: A checklist and rhyming riddles clue cards.

The first neighborhood treasure hunt is more descriptive and great for older kids or teenagers that can read and solve riddles. This could be used on your street or using a car scavenger hunt for a larger area. Second, there is also a list of items for younger kids.  This would be used as a walking scavenger hunt and kids check off the list of items on their visual list.

Clue Cards

Neighborhood scavenger hunt for adults or teens or older kids

This scavenger hunt is great for older children, teens or even adults. Use rhyming riddles and go on a neighborhood walk scavenger hunt on foot or driving scavenger hunt as you locate different clues and ultimately find your prize.

To get started, cut the rhyming clue cards apart. Choose the scavenger hunt clue cards that are best for your neighborhood and plan your order. If you wish, you can add a number to the back of the card for ordering.

Since you are in a larger area, such as a neighborhood, create a boundary where clues can be found. To keep the clues in a larger area, write your own clues on the back. For example, use hints like this is at a house to the left of yours. This is at a flower bush four driveways from yours. Hide your cards in the appropriate spot but save the first card to start the hunt. You can play foot, bicycle, golf cart or car!

In our printable set, you’ll also find a page full of do not touch signs! These signs are great for when you don’t want anyone messing up your scavenger hunt and picking up a clue card before players have gotten to that riddle.

Checklist

easy neighborhood scavenger hunt for kids

The second photo scavenger hunt is ideal for preschoolers or younger children and kids. In this scavenger hunt list, participants can see the picture and from there they can look for the item in the picture. The scavenger hunt includes 16 items.

Example neighborhood checklist items include…

  • sprinkler
  • dog
  • flower
  • mailbox
  • airplane
  • stop sign

Once an items is found, you can use a circle sticker and cover the item (like these on Amazon) or just add a circle or X. This is not a checklist neighborhood hunt where you pick up the item – the neighbor might not like you carrying their dog home. LOL.

Year-round Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids

I’ve loved scavenger hunts since I was a kid. Well, I still love them! Some of my best memories are from scavenger hunts with family and friends. They got me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to meet new people. Plus, I love a good challenge and a prize, so I always gave my all to win the hunt!

We had so much fun gathering the best printable scavenger hunts for kids from all over the internet. Whether you’re looking for a scavenger hunt at home or an outdoor scavenger hunt for kids, we’ve got a scavenger hunt for every season and occasion. Happy hunting!

What is a Scavenger Hunt?

A scavenger hunt is an engaging game played by children (and adults, too!) Every scavenger hunt begins with a list of objects to find and riddles or clues to help the players locate the items. To play the game, divide the players into at least 2 teams and give the teams or individual players copies of the list of clues. A scavenger hunt is similar to a treasure hunt in that there are clues to solve and at the end is typically a scavenger hunt prize or present.

Scavenger Hunt Printables for Kids

What are the Scavenger Hunt Rules?

Scavenger hunts can be played individually or in groups — either way, whoever finishes first wins! There are two types of hunts. Hunts can be consecutive where a team or individuals are given the first clue which leads to the second, third, fourth, and so on. Alternatively, hunts can be done using a checklist where the full list of “must do’s” are provided at the beginning. Provide players with a writing utensil, and they can check off their finds as they go!

Individual Scavenger Hunts

Individual scavenger hunts are a great way to busy a child or give them individual gifts on a special day. At each stopping point, before the next scavenger hunt riddle clue is given, gift your child a piece of their larger present. You can do this on birthday or even collecting their Back to School Supplies. Yes, you can do a scavenger hunt at home to make even Back to School Supplies exciting!

To begin, supply the player with the first scavenger hunt clue. The first riddle will lead them to the second. The second will lead them to the third clue and so on until the scavenger hunt is over. You can also provide a scavenger hunt checklist where the entire list must be completed before a prize is given.

Group Scavenger Hunts

Group scavenger hunts are perfect for sleepovers, lock-ins, class parties, and more. Even adults can find their inner child and have fun challenging each other in outdoor venues like parks, concerts, the mall, or in a city hunt challenge around town.

Either supply your groups with a scavenger hunts riddle and clue #1 or provide them a list of things to get on a piece of paper. This list is their checklist and must be completed in order to declare a winner. A checklist Scavenger Hunt is typically easier for large groups, so you don’t have to go around hiding multiple sets of clues for each team.

Home staging is the key to getting a top dollar price for your property.  This printable home staging form can help you get your home staged to sell and quickly. A step by step guide to getting your home ready to sell ASAP! Download and print our free home staging worksheet to help you get your house in tip-top shape.

Home staging is so important when it comes to your home’s resale. Eighty-two percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

Looking for a home staging checklist? Look no further!  I’ve put together this Home Staging printable PDF that can help you get your home staged and ready to sell. Sure, you can hire a professional stagers, but with this list, you’ll be able to do it all yourself!

Here are a few tips for staging your home, so that it can sell.

Make a Good First Impression

The first stop on the home staging checklist is to make a good impression. Start in a room and take a slow look around. For example, this includes things like checking the door entrance to ensure the door doesn’t have any damage, painting the front door, and making sure the doorbell works and so on. Make sure you check out these home staging ideas to make your home staging process so much easier.

Take a look at your…

  • Front Porch
  • Garage
  • Foyer
  • Living Room
  • Bedrooms
  • Dining Room
  • Home Office
  • Master Bedroom
  • Bedrooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Closests

Walk through each of these spaces and and take a look around as if seeing it for the first time. A friend can come in hand with this process. Real estate agents will often do a walk through with home sellers, as well. They want top dollar and a successful home sale too!

Do the Repairs

The next part of the home staging checklist includes doing the repairs. This may be the hardest part to get motivated to do, but it’s worth it! Do your best to accomplish DIY tasks. Eliminate the home staging services and save the harder tasks for a handyman.

  • Use Mr. Clean eraser to eliminate stains on the wall, stairs, sinks, tubs, etc
  • Paint walls and touch up scratches
  • Replace bad lights in light fixtures
  • Replace personal photos with discounted artwork

Buyers don’t want to see things like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or damaged walls. Fixing these things can make a big difference in the appearance of your home and can potentially increase its value.

Depersonalize the Space

When potential buyers come to look at the house, they want to envision themselves living there. This can be difficult if your space is filled with personal items like family photos or memorabilia. Part of the home staging checklist involves depersonalizing the space by removing these items and creating a more neutral, inviting atmosphere.

Download the Home Staging Template PDF

These are only 3 tips out of 12 (plus extra tips) to help you through this process. Sometimes a checklist can really help you get more done, faster! Knowing that everything is listed that you need to do.

Become your own home stager with this handy checklist. From the windows to the walls, this budget-friendly printable resource will eliminate the professional home stager and put the resources in your hand.

Download the printable Home Staging template PDF and get started on selling your home.

What is the 3 foot 5 foot rule in home staging?

The 3 foot 5 foot rule states that when walking through a room, every surface within 3 feet and 5 feet of the floor should be clear and free of clutter. This includes shelves, countertops, tables, floors, etc. By eliminating the clutter, your home’s best features will pop – that cute corner, that amazing arch, those roomy walk in closets, that bright window…!

Rent a storage container for a month. Grabbing something like a POD can be quickly filled in your driveway. The pod is picked up and your stuff can be sent directly to your new home. Doing part of the moving of furniture and things yourself mgiht even save on moving expenses.

What should you not do when staging a house?

  • Do not leave personal items on display.
  • Do not leave pet items or odors in the house.
  • Do not use overly bold or bright paint colors.
  • Do not leave unfinished projects or repairs undone.
  • Do not leave outdated or worn furniture and decorations.
  • Do not neglect proper lighting and cleanliness.
  • Do not forget curb appeal and the exterior of the house.
  • Do not neglect to stage all rooms, including bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I prepare my house for staging?

  • Declutter and deep clean the entire house.
  • Make necessary repairs or updates.
  • Remove personal items and excessive knick-knacks.
  • Arrange furniture in a way that promotes spaciousness and functionality.
  • Enhance curb appeal by tending to the landscaping.
  • Use neutral, inviting paint colors, and decor.
  • Ensure good lighting throughout the house.
  • Stage all rooms, including bathrooms, and kitchens.

Small tips include add  a new and clean welcome mat. Hang a few fresh towels. Open blinds and curtains for natural light.

The next time you’re looking for help on selling your home, this home staging checklist is a huge task helper! You can do it yourself and save money, but still make a great impression on potential buyers. With these tips, you won’t forget anything, which will help you easily sell your home in no time.

Christmas Fleece Blanket Sales

There are plenty of places to find holiday fleece blankets on sale. Use these fleece throws as Christmas gifts for teachers coaches, teachers, neighbors, friends and family. Check out the following online stores to find discounted fleece blankets.

Kohls

Let’s start with Kohl’s. The OG of the Christmas fleece throw sale. The Big One® Oversized Supersoft Plush Throw
are incredibly soft and very big. Often during the holiday season, Koh’s has coupon codes you can attach and cash back. I have gotten this blanket multiple years, especially because it’s often the best deal after the cash back offer.

It looks like this year there are 44 different patterns. The current Kohl’s offer is $8.49 form $26.99 (you guys it’s never $27 – always find the deal!) Current use code SAVE15 at checkout. Get $10 cash back when you spend $50 (this will change with time.)

Old Navy

Last year I did Old Navy blankets. They were fine – a bit thinner than Kohls. You can pick up the Patterned Microfleece Blanket for the Family in six different patterns.

The current Old Navy Offer is $10 from $12. Why does it crack me up so much how they photograph these blankets?

JCPenney

This year I picked up North Pole Trading Co. Holiday Velvet Plush Throw blankets from JCPenney. I was trying to fill a cart to get free shipping and the sale was a pretty good offer.

Everyone knows that the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the Nutcracker Ballet! This Printable Nutcracker Activity for Kids is so much imaginative fun. Not only can they print out the various Nutcrackers scenes, but they’ll have the printable paper dolls to go along with it, as well. When it comes to Christmas Placemats Activities, adding this printable Nutcracker scene activity to the table might be the perfect holiday addition. 

cute nutcracker printables christmas activity set for kids

Part of getting excited and ready for the holidays is thinking about all the Christmas classics from the past. Since The Nutcracker Ballet is one that everyone loves and knows, it just makes sense to have fun activities surrounding that theme!

What I love about this holiday printable activity is that it’s a great way to get the kids active and involved. They’ll love being able to turn the pages, change the scenes, and have the paper dolls be a part of the fun.

They could even have their own Nutcracker theater and put on quite the play! Have everyone in the family gather around and sit down to watch the show. It’s truly magical to see the excitement of Christmas through the eyes of the kids!

If you’re looking for fun Christmas activities, look no further than this printable Nutcracker scene. It’s a fun place-setting idea, a great interactive activity, and a fun way to get everyone excited for the holidays.

How does this printable Nutcracker activity work?

christmas crafts printable nutcracker activity set for kids

It’s as simple as printing out the pages and then piecing them together to make fun scenes from The Nutcracker. The paper dolls can be used on every page to make the story come to life.

Once it’s put together, there are parts and pieces that can be moved around and used differently throughout the rest of the printable set.

This is where creativity and imagination come into play and makes it super fun to use over and over again. Flipping the pages and having the paper dolls in various different scenes is a simple way to make this Nutcracker idea and activity unique and different every time.

Can this nutcracker printable be used by one person?

You bet! It’s a super fun activity for one or multiple! All you have to do is print, and then whoever wants to join in on the fun can absolutely do so. This is a great way to imagine and then make it happen, which is what little kids love to do!

I do recommend that there be a part of adult hands to help out with the little hands in making and putting this together. Adult supervision and help are always welcomed. (plus, the bonus of creating it together is an awesome memory!)

Supplies

  • Printer
  • Small, sharp scissors
  • Glue or glue stick
  • Cardstock or printer paper (I love this set!)
  • Laminator (this is optional – but I love laminating my stuff!)
  • Ruler or straight edge
  • printable Nutcracker arts & crafts activity pack on nine template sheets

What’s included with this Nutcracker theater scene printable?

cute printable nutcracker set

In this Nutcracker printable pack for kids, there are:

  • printable scenes
  • printable directions
  • paper doll printables

Use this for fun Christmas Decor for Your Home or a great way to get the kids to have imaginative and creative play ideas as well.

This would also be super cute to have on the holiday table as a unique centerpiece or even a fun place mat on the kid’s plates to give them something to do with their hands while they’re waiting for dinner.

How to create a Nutcracker Travel Set

Perhaps while you create your christmas craft, turn on Youtube the classical music from the Nutcracker by composer Tchaikovsky. This might give you a little inspiration and Christmas cheera s you make your Nutcracker traveling set.

how to make nutcracker travel set

First, download and print your printable nutcracker activity set. If working with preschoolers or toddlers, have older children or adults guide them through the activity. We find cardstock works great but printer paper is just fine.

To begin, use the ruler and back blunt edge of your scissors to score the two dotted lines of Page 1. Fold both of the lines inward to form the base.

Next cut out the flap from page 2. Use the ruler and back edge of your scissors to score the single dotted line. Fold this line back.

Place the flap over the right, short edge of the base. Glue the underside of the flap to the front, outside, folding it over the base, forming an envelope.

Open the base up all the way with the white side up on a flat surface. The flap should be on the right.

Cut out the two pockets from page 3. Score along the dotted lines of each envelope and fold these inward.

Apply glue to the flaps and adhere each pocket to the bottom left and bottom right of the base. Line the edges up with the outside edges of the base page.

cute nutcracker scene printable

Next, cut out the top and side curtains from page 4. Score the curtains along the dotted lines. Fold the flaps back.

Apply glue to the flaps of the middle curtain and glue it to the top of the base, carefully centering it in the middle, about I/8th of an inch from the very top edge. After the middle curtain dries in place, flip it up.

Now, glue the two side curtains in the same manner, lining them up along each side edge of the base page. Set aside.

Cut out the three stage scenes Prom pages 5 – 7. Fold each scene in half, carefully folding, then creasing them down the middle.

Glue the back right of scene 1 to the back left of scene 2. Next, glue the back right of scene 2 to the back right of scene 3. This will create a small booklet of scenes.

Next, open up all curtain flaps. Glue the backs of the booklet in place, carefully centering it between the two side curtains and about I/16th down from the top curtain flap fold.

To change scenes, open the three curtain flaps, turn the booklet page, then place the curtain flaps back down into place.

printable nutcracker scenes

Cut out all dancers and decorations. These items don’t have to be cut exactly. It’s Pine to leave some white space around the edges. Categorize the items and place them into the correct envelopes, Dancers or Decorations. (These would be fine laminated if you want to keep them in good shape.)

Now carefully fold the Nutcracker Kit in half. Use the flat end of your scissors or the end of a ruler to re-crease the folds so they are sharp.

Finally, cut out the long band and decorative sticker from page 2. Starting at the center front, hold the end in place, then wrap the long band all the way around the short width of the base kit, creasing the band as you go.

Apply glue to the back of the decorative snow-flake sticker to connect the band in the front. Make sure that you only glue the band together. Don’t glue the band to your base!

Enjoy your entire land of sweets travel kit during the Nutcracker season.
