Scavenger hunts help your kids to further their problem-solving skills using mental, visual, and tangible methods.

They will solve each of the riddles while physically searching for the downloadable dinosaur clues, bringing an additional level of fun to this educational activity.
While interacting with the scavenger hunts, your children’s minds will be active, as well as their feet! Exercise is essential for keeping kids healthy, and scavenger hunts are a unique way to implement physical activity into your kids daily routine. They will walk and run around the house and yard searching for each of the clues, giving them the extra energy boost they need.
Another benefit of scavenger hunts is that your kids will become more aware of their surroundings and their ability to focus on completing tasks one-by-one.
