Have kids that love scavenger hunts? Or simply need an activity for your inner child? We’ve collected the best printable scavenger hunts from all over the web! Have tons of fun hunting with the whole family. Enjoy!

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! Scavenger hunts are amazing ice breakers for group scenarios, like at camp or a birthday party. Or, you can make a special scavenger hunt for a loved one to show them how much you care!

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.

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.

Disney World is a magical place for people of all ages. With four theme parks, two water parks, and more than thirty resorts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re looking for the best photo spots in Disney World, there is a way to do that! Introducing this Disney Photo Spots Checklist and Bring printable! This is the best way to spend your time at Disney wisely! These are Disney World photo spots worth checking out!

How to Take the Best Photos at Disney

Are you headed to Orlando, Florida? If you are going on your dream vacation, you will of course want to turn some memories into amazing snap shots. Since you have this printable that gives you the best photo spots at Disney, you may be wondering how you can take the best photos at Walt Disney World.

Give these tips a try:

1. Timing is everything

Try to take your photos during off-peak hours when there are fewer people around. This will help you avoid crowds and get the best shots. In addition to finding an uncrowded spot, capture the moment. If you see your children in a belly laugh moment, go ahead and take a dozen or so photos. You can erase the excess later after you capture the best moment in a picture.

2. Bring a tripod

This will help you take clear, steady photos that are perfect for capturing memories. Tripods can be a lot of work to remember, but they will help you take amazing pictures.

3. Use a DSLR camera or Your Phone’s Camera

If you have one, use it! This will give you the best quality photos. Don’t forget about your phone’s camera as well! Play with the lighting and some of the camera app lenses. In this photo, we adjusted the late afternoon lighting to give my daughter a perfect silhouette with her Mickey Balloon.

4. Be patient and have fun!

If you’re waiting for a perfect shot, be patient. It’ll be worth it in the end. At the end of the day, remember to have fun and enjoy your time at Disney World!

5. Disney PhotoPass Service

If you are looking for a concierge memory maker, consider the Disney Photo Pass. This will allow you to become hands off when it comes to taking the photos of your amazing vacation. From plastic card encoded card with a chip or your MagicBand, simply scan your card/band with the park’s official photographers. For a flat rate, you can have your unlimited family photos taken by every photographer in the park and get all the photos attached to your account. It’s easy to link your photos to your Disney account! You can use your MagicBand, Disney PhotoPass card, theme park ticket or annual pass. Read more on their Frequently Asked Questions page.

Frugal Savings Tip: Why reinvent the wheel?! Even if you don’t pay for the Disney Photo Pace, pay attention to the Disney Photo Pass spots.

November 2, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Frugal Living, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Thanksgiving 5 Comments

Looking for a sweet treat that can help you celebrate all things turkey? Thanksgiving Rice Krispie Treats are easy to make and assemble!

There are always tons of crafts and recipes to make around the holidays, but this Thanksgiving Rice Krispie Treats recipe is so fun to put together and the ingredients are super simple. This Rice Krispie Turkey is also budget friendly, which I love! Making a craft that is also edible is a win-win in my book. The kids will literally gobble it right up!

Tips for Making Thanksgiving Turkey Rice Krispy Treats

It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing color, the air is getting crisper, and families are gathering to give thanks. And what would Thanksgiving be without a turkey-shaped treat? This year, why not try something new and make your own Thanksgiving Rice Krispy Treats? Here are a few tips for making them.

Choose your shape. Whether you want to go for traditional rice Krispy treats or you just want to do a circle, this is the time to create your favorite shape.
Make the dough. Start by melting marshmallows and butter in a pot over low heat. Once the mixture is melted, add in rice cereal until evenly mixed.
Scoop and shaping. Use a spoon or cookie cutter to scoop out dough and shape into your desired turkey shape.
Decorate! Have fun decorating your turkey with frosting, candy eyes, and whatever else you can think of!

Enjoy! Let your creativity shine through and have fun making these delicious Thanksgiving treats!

Is there a difference between marshmallow cream and marshmallow fluff?

Marshmallow cream is a thick, spreadable mixture made from marshmallows, corn syrup, and gelatin. Marshmallow fluff is similar but does not contain gelatin and has a lighter texture. Both can be used as substitutes for marshmallows in Rice Krispie Treats, but may result in slightly different textures and flavors.

Potlucks can be a lot of fun, particularly during the holiday season. Make one dish, enjoy many dishes. These Thanksgiving Potluck Recipes include easy main dinner entrees, side dishes, and desserts. Use these Thanksgiving Potluck ideas for a friendsgiving or family gathering.

Potlucks can be a lot of fun, particularly during the holiday season. You’re only responsible for making one dish, but you get to enjoy many dishes! And this puts less stress on the hostess—after all, putting a Thanksgiving dinner together for a large group can be intimidating!

What should I bring to a Thanksgiving Potluck?

The best thing about a fall potluck is you immediately have a theme – Thanksgiving. That makes what to bring to a Thanksgiving potluck rather limited. Thanksgiving pot luck ideas typically include the main dishes, vegetable side dishes and a savory dessert. It’s important when planning a Thanksgiving Potluck to come up with a Thanksgiving menu. This can be done where food is already listed and people sign up or you can list the food you plan to make and bring to the party. This will ensure no one brings the same recipe – It would be a bit scary to end up with 22 roast turkey breasts (those poor birds.)

Sign Up Genuis is an excellent tool for planning a Friendsgiving Potluck with family, coworkers and/and friends. You can invite guests, have some Thanksgiving games to bring, and allow them to sign up for something from a list of Thanksgiving Potluck recipe ideas. This can include a list of Thanksgiving dishes or a list of ingredients like whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, apples and more. In this case, everyone would gather and prepare the the Friendsgiving meal ideas together.

Tip: If you’re hosting or helping with a Friendsgiving dinner, check out our Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Ideas with tips and tricks to throw a memorable holiday meal with your friends.

Turkey Day isn’t complete without dressing and stuffing. You’re going to love Grandma’s Thanksgiving Dressing. It’s a classic recipe that’s easy to make—you can even make it the day before to save time. The kids can help pull apart the bread! | Sweetpea Lifestyle

The slow cooker does all the work to make these Easy Potatoes Romanoff. It’s classic comfort food with lots of cheesy, potato-y goodness. If you’d like to lighten it up a little, low-fat cheese, sour cream, and mushroom soup can be substituted for the full-fat versions. | Food Meanderings

Honey Glazed Carrots are quick, easy, and so tasty! The carrots are slightly caramelized and cooked to perfection. You’ll find instructions for making them in the air fryer or the oven. | Sweet and Savory by Shinee

Do you need a vegetarian Thanksgiving dish? Perfect as a potluck dish for the holidays or year-round, you won’t be able to get enough of this Roasted Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Pecans.

Dessert Ideas

How good does Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread sound? Soft, moist pumpkin spice bread with a ribbon of cream cheese filling in the center makes the ultimate fall snack or dessert. | Healthy Christian Home

This Cranberry Orange Bread is a delicious dessert that’s perfect for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. You could also serve it for breakfast. The tart cranberry bread is topped with a sweet orange glaze for perfectly-balanced flavors. | Cooking Journey

If you have to traditional dessert recipes it’s pumpkin and pecan pie. If you traditionally make an old-fashioned pumpkin pie, you may want to give Libby’s New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie a try. What’s the difference? The cooking time is shortened by 10 minutes, and the recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk over granulated sugar. You may like the new version even better! | The View from Great Island

For a literal twist of a classic recipe, you’ll be the Thanksgiving VIP when you show up with a Pumpkin Roll. Make it with walnuts or without, but either way, this pumpkin cake rolled with cream cheese frosting is irresistible! Serve with vanilla ice cream and apple cider. | Amanda’s Cookin’

November 29, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pet, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media Leave a Comment

Why You Need Pet Instructions

There are a few reasons you’ll want to leave pet instructions for your sitter. Knowing what instructions to leave for the pet sitter is important. This includes things like feeding, walking, and medication schedules.

Daily Routine

One is so that your pet can continue their daily routine as much as possible while you’re away. This will help minimize any anxiety or stress they may feel from your absence. This will medicine, food, and walks.

To Help Your Pet

Another reason is so that you can be sure that your pet is being taken care of exactly the way you want them to be. Be specific about your fur baby’s likes, ticks, allergies, bad habits and more.

You Can Worry Less

By providing specific instructions, you can relax knowing that your pet is in good hands and being well taken care of. This gives you a time to have your voice written down as well as important information like veterinarian’s information, what to do in the unlikely event of illness, and details about your pet behavior. Get your thoughts across with a self-explanatory pet sitter printable. Add anything missing on a separate page or with a post it note.

How much is a pet sitter?

Before you hire a pet sitter, it’s important to know what’s a head. Many budget for travel but forget that sometimes the cost of the entire trip is at home – with your pet and pet sitter.

Pet sitter rates will vary greatly depending on your pets needs, the age/skillset of the animal sitter, the the frequency of visits to the home. The cost of a pet sitter can be as low as $0 to $100 for a day/night. That’s a huge discrepancies especially when you are gone for more than many days. A few questions to ask a homeowner…

Can you you trade services with a friend?
Are you comfortable hiring a local teenager?
Do you need a qualified independent contractor to stay the night or entire duration of your trip?

Consider these guidelines a price estimate when budgeting for a pet sitter. They are ordered from least expensive to most expensive.

Neighbor or Friend

If you are able to trade pet sitting services with a neighbor or friend? If you can trade pet sitting services, this might benefit bot you and a friend. In this case, you might get away with getting a pet sitter for free. Consider bringing back a nice gift from your travels or paying for house keeping services after you pick up your pet from their home.

Teenager

Ask the teenage kids of neighbors. You can often hire a teenager for minimum wage. There is no need for transportation and they can easily access your house multiple times a day. Teens are always looking for extra income and you also know their parent is available in a “worst-case scenario” type situation. If you don’t know the teens in your neighborhood, try a community forum like Nextdoor.com.

College Student

Trusted college kids are excellent for house sitting and pet sitting. To get out of the dorm for the weekend might be a weekend reprieve and not only are they helping with the pet, they can also look over the house. Plus they often come with a mode of transportation.

Veterinary Office

A vet office is a safe place to leave your pet. In addition to having a warm bed and roof over their head, you can feel comfortable knowing that your pet also has a pet doctor on hand in the event of any personal emergency or mishap. While this is a very safe route for pet sitting, your cat/dog will not have the comfort of their own home and exercise will be minimal as they will be in a vet’s office kennel/cage.

Pet Caregivers & Services

The most expensive route will be hiring a pet sitter service. In this scenario a qualified person often comes with a background check, screenings so home owners can feel comfortable with a stranger in your home. There often is a pet sitting contract so you know your rights when hiring a pet sitter or dog walker. You can find such services by searching pet sitting services near me or visit Care.com for help in your local area.

What do you put on pet sitting instructions?

Your pet’s name, age, and breed
A photo of your pet
Your contact information
An emergency contact
Your pet’s vet information
Feeding instructions and schedules
Walking and exercise routines
Playtime and toys
Bathroom routines
Any special needs or medical conditions

How to Prep Your Home For a Dog Sitter

Leaving your dog with a sitter can be stressful, but there are some things you can do to prepare your home (and your dog) for their arrival.

Pick up any toys, bones, or other items that your dog may chew on or swallow.
Put away any food or garbage that might tempt your dog to rummage through the trash.
Make sure your dog has a comfortable place to sleep, like their crate or bed.
Leave out food and water bowls, as well as any food or treats your dog will need.
Give your dog a good walk before the sitter arrives so they can go to the bathroom.
Show the sitter where everything is and go over any instructions or routines.

Where to Leave the Pet Sitter Instructions

Now that you know what to include in your pet instructions, it’s time to decide where to leave them.

Some people like to leave them on front of the fridge so that they’re easy to find.
Others will put them in a binder or folder with all of the other information the sitter will need, like keys and contact information. You can leave them in a pet care binder or your busy mom binder home organizer!
You could also send them electronically via email or text.

No matter where you leave them, just be sure that the sitter knows where to find them!

These pet sitter instructions printable can help make sure your pet is taken care of exactly the way you want them to be! Just fill it out and leave it for your sitter, and you can relax knowing that your pet is in good hands.
