How to Set Up Your Scavenger Hunt for Dad

Craft the perfect adventure with a little DIY and personalization from the kids. Prepare the clues and personalize the hide-and-seek adventure to create a special hunt for dad.

special dads day scavenger hunt printable

Preparing the Clues

  1. Print the Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards: We’ve made it easy by creating 20 scavenger hunt clues for him. Download the scavenger hunt and cut out the clue cards. In this print-and-play set, choose the clues that fit your home and your dad’s quirks and personality to make it a better experience.  For example, if your dad doesn’t play golf, leave out the clue that would be found with the golf clubs.
  2. Personalize Your Clues: With each clue card, utilize the bonus. We added 24 Editable Coupons included in our printable set. Personalize them using the free Adobe PDF version to cater specifically to your dad’s interests and hobbies.
  3. Strategic Placement: Save the first clue card. You will keep this to start the hunt. Then hide each clue in a location that is meaningful or amusing for your dad. While the locations are already determined, consider utilizing the props around the object related to inside jokes or fond memories. Strategically place the fun clues in spots that spark nostalgia, tickle his funny bone, or challenge his inner Sherlock. For example, if one of the clues is “at the grill” leave a funny note or object on the grill with the clue. One example could be burnt buns symbolizing the last time Dad overcooked the bread and almost burnt the house down. With the placement, add a cute coupon for Dad that says “Good for One Uber Eats Meal.” Placement and personalized details are what will bring laughter and memories.

Creative Ideas for an Engaging Hunt

  • Mix Physical and Intellectual Challenges: Combine clues that require physical activity with those that need problem-solving skills. Make your scavenger hunt extra challenging when you add short puzzles like riddles, problem-solving puzzles, dad jokes he must solve, or even Sodku puzzles.
  • Incorporate Dad’s Favorites: Tailor the hunt around his favorite hobbies, books, or movies. Have small trinkets, prizes, or a hidden gift with each of the clue cards. Or have a giant gift with the last clue.
  • Involve the Whole Family: Turn it into a family affair, where each member can contribute to the planning or participate in the hunt. There is no child too small, no adult too stoic. The whole family can add a small touch and contribute to the giggles.

Making Memories That Last

This scavenger hunt is not just about finding treasures; it’s about creating lasting memories with your dad. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a regular day, this adventure is sure to bring smiles and laughter, strengthening the bond you share.

Kids of all ages can get involved in the planning.  Remember, the key to a successful scavenger hunt lies in its personalization. By incorporating elements that are unique to your dad, you create an experience that is not only fun but also deeply meaningful. Get ready to see the joy in your dad’s eyes as he unravels each clue, uncovering the love and thought put into every step of this delightful adventure.

super cute pond nature journal for kid printable worksheets

Nature journaling is a fun outdoor activity for families. There are many benefits of nature and journaling is the perfect way to get fresh air, explore your surroundings, or look at the living world differently. Nature journaling can be done with kids, adults, friends, and family. Explore ponds, creeks, rivers, fields, trails, mountains, and more.

Today we will look at what is nature journal, how to create your own nature journal, and our fun pond life journal for young kids.

What is Nature Journaling?

In the same way that one records their thoughts and feelings, nature journaling can be done in parallel. Nature journaling is simply writing down one’s experiences and illustrations in response to the natural world. It’s a relaxing outdoor activity not only for adults but for children too. This fun outdoor activity connects the writer with the great outdoors and living world. Nature journals can be self lead through creative and free thought. Alternatively, nature journaling can be directed using nature observation worksheets or fun outdoor scavenger hunt printables.

How to Start a Nature Journal

To start a nature journal, grab paper and a pencil. That’s it. Free form is a great way to start writing and illustrating the observations you see in our natural world. Keep your paper together in a binder, folder, or notebook to create an exploration journal. A journal can be done over a short period of time like during a day or weekend. Nature journaling can also be done over a long series of time creating a lifelong diary or nature logbook.

How does an observation journal work?

The fun part about having a journal full of observations is that everyone’s will be different. The goal of nature journaling is broad. Journal entries can record changes in animal tracks, sketches of the outdoor environment, or even fictional stories about the environment one’s in.

kids exploring a pond

If freeform is less your jam, we have something fun for you. Learn about our pond life explorer nature journal for young kids. This printable journal set can be used as pondlife activities for preschoolers and a list of their discoveries. Alternatively, take it as part of an outdoor family hike and create your very own exploration nature journal for the family. All the prompts are right there, just waiting to be completed!

Let’s take a look!

Pond Life Activities Printable

I don’t know how often we’ve looked at a pond and just kept walking. But when you take the time to slow down and look at all the beauty, there are so many things to see! In this pond life science activities printable set, experience nature by creating your own pond-life nature journal observations.

The fun part about searching and looking for things related to a pond is that everyone gets to be a part of the fun. We’ve used this activity during sleepovers, campouts, hikes, and even just a fun family day where we put the screens down, and spent time together, face to face.

Included in this pond printable activity:

  • Pond Explorer Cover Page
  • Pond Observations Journal
  • Pond Explorer Reflection Questions
  • Pond Explorer Nature Scavenger Hunt List (written)
  • Pond Explorer Outdoor Scavenger Hunt List (with photo prompts)

For many of these natural journaling printables, print as many as you need to make multiple observations. There are prompts to help everyone know what to write or draw, but after that, it’s how they see and perceive it. An observation journal is an easy way to slow down and enjoy the time.

Make sure to grab this nature journal for kids! It has two outdoor scavenger hunts plus nature journal ideas! It’s great for preschoolers, young readers, and early learners!

Nature Observation Worksheets

  • What did you learn about your visit to the pond?
  • What would you like to learn about the pond?
  • What can you do to improve pond life and pond ecosystems?

Nature Scavenger Hunts

printable nature scavenger hunt ideas for kids at the pond

Kids love outdoor exploration through a nature scavenger hunt. The pond life activities worksheet includes two types of pond outdoor scavenger hunts including a Pond Scavenger Hunt for Nature and a Pond Scavenger Hunt with Photos.

Find some of the following things at the pond…

  • Duck
  • Frog
  • Lily Pad
  • Dragonflies
  • Birds
  • Insects

For literacy activities, the scavenger hunt with words is meant for emergent readers and older kids who can read. The scavenger hunt with pictures is meant for young kids who did visual images of pond items they can look at and find on their own.  Pair up older explorers and younger kids and do both!

Let each child create a check or circle over their items found so little learners can work on their fine motor skills during the small pond theme activities.

More Ideas for Nature Journaling at the Pond

Don’t forget to change it up to work for your needs!  Make this printable nature journal for kids your own! You can use it just like it is or change it to something new.

Some fun ideas to personalize this pond life nature journal includes…

Have a fun prize

Don’t forget the prize and make it a friendly competition. It’s always fun to motivate people with a prize! If you can think of fun pond prizes, that is even better. A small prize would be gummy worms (to be like fishing worms!) and a larger prize could even be a fishing pole! Hit the dollar store to see what you can find.

Keep track as you go

If you want to make a point system, adding a counting element is a fun way. Have everyone count how many frogs they find, count the lilypads, and more! This turns the fun into a math activity. I think that we ended up counting 15 frogs and over 30 lilypads on our outdoor pond adventure. We all had a blast using this as our basis! There are so many things that you’ll see that you can add to the list as well. Have fun with it and go with the flow coming up with new ideas as you explore.

Collect fun things

Scientists and naturalists will enjoy having a small bucket or bag to carry the items they collect. Bring your fun trinkets back to the classroom and look at such items under a microscope.  You can use such items to make your own nature arts & crafts or add to a fun hands-on nature sensory bin.

Add a photo contest

You’ll undoubtedly see a ton of really cool things while you’re looking around the pond. See who can take the best picture and share it with everyone! Use the nature treasure hunt to create your own photo scavenger hunt with pond items or photograph things not found in the outdoor treasure hunt like…

  • Pond patterns
  • Eggs, tadpoles, and frogs to create your own illustrated frog life cycle
  • Turtles
  • Cloud patterns

May the best photo win. Use your photos to add to your nature journal scrapbook.

This outdoor pond printable is easy to use and fun as well! Get ready to be in a friendly competition with the kids because you will look for everything, just like they are!

What ages can participate in this pond journal activity?

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe – Beach Snacks

Beach friendly food is important when traveling to the sand and sun. This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe with ranch seasoning mix is easy to prepare, extremely tasty, filling and feeds a large crowd. It’s a family favorite beach snack recipe you will make over and over again.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe in the Crock-Pot

As a former sand and sun worshiper and native of Florida, I am often asked, “what snacks are good for the beach?”  The sun has a way of sucking the calories out of you and often tummies, namely those of the kids, are famished! My first goal of preparing beach snacks is to feed a crowd. If you go to the beach with two kids, you always end up feeding about triple your head count. Kids pick up kids. People also eat larger servings in the sun. I love to make a meal healthy, but I also like to make a hearty snack.

This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd and is incredibly tasty. Best of all, it is easy to whip up the morning before you head out to the beach or prepare ahead and store in a tightly sealed bag or plastic container. This is a family recipe. My stepmom has made it for years and my kids always ask for it. She makes it without cheese crackers, but this year for our beach adventure, we decided to mix things up. In addition to our oyster crackers, we added Goldfish! I figured this would be a nice touch for our young crowd, three kids two and under!

Also check out our other beach friendly food recipes – Strawberry Mango Salsa. So good!

Poolside Snack Mix

Other beach friendly foods include peanut butter banana roll-ups tortillas, tangerines, frozen grapes, pre-cut watermelon triangles, strawberry mango salsa, frozen Capri Suns, kids Cliff Bars, and sandwiches. Think fruit, crabs, and protein!

See this Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is featured in Beach Life Hacks and Beach Tips and Hacks!

Beach Friendly Recipe Adaption: This is best in the slow cooker so you can continuously stir. If your beach house lacks a Crock-Pot, prepare the recipe, lay it out on cookie sheets and let it bake in the sun! If the porch is too windy, bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe Ingredients

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Ingredients:

  • 9 oz Oyster Crackers
  • 6.6 oz bag of Goldfish
  • 2 T Dill Weed
  • 3/4 cup Mazola Oil
  • 1 oz package Ranch Seasoning Mix

Optional: Make without Goldfish. Other variations include adding pretzels or substitute with mini Saltines.

You can substitute Mazola corn oil for vegetable oil. We also have changed the oil about pairing 1/4 cup vegetable with 4 TBSP unsalted butter.

Multiply as needed. This  recipe will fill about a gallon sized plastic bag.

Beach Bathtub for Kids

37.) This works best at a public beach that is not too crowded. Store your beach toys in a large Rubbermaid container. When you get to the beach, remove the toys and fill a large plastic bin with water at the closest shower. Keep the bin filled while you play during the day. The water will warm up in the sun. When you are ready to go, grab a bar of soap and bathe the kids in your Rubbermaid container. Fill back up with toys and drive home. This is great for getting the kids clean before they climb back into your car!
