Nature Scavenger Hunts

Time to head outside for a nature adventure! This Shapes in Nature Scavenger Hunt is just the beginning. What patterns and shapes can you find as you explore? Can you check off all of the items in our hunt? What other shapes did you find? The examples in our scavenger hunt are just starting points for new and interesting ways to look at nature.

Once you get the knack of spotting shapes in natural objects, you can look for new patterns and shapes to create a unique scavenger hunt that is specially designed by you! Once it’s complete, you can challenge your friends and family.
