Nature Scavenger Hunt

The idea for this project is not mine. My friend Melissa made one for her daughter, and it looked like a lot of fun. She said she got the idea from another blog. If you know where it came from let me know, and I will give proper credit to that person. :)

Supplies:
1 egg carton
paint (pick colors that can easily be found outdoors)
paintbrush

Take a regular egg carton-not the styrofoam kind- and get started!
I painted over the name brand and personalized it.


Done!
Now start scavenging!

Mimi really enjoyed this project. She took a lot of time going around the yard looking. Then after completing it she said she wants to do it again tomorrow, but will fill it with different objects. I thought that was a good idea.

Moe was not interested in this project at all. In fact, he "washed" his hair with sand.


Have a great week!

What a great project idea for Mimi! Love the pic of Moe with the hair full of sand. It totally captures his personality.

they are supposed to find things in nature that match the colors in the egg crate...like grass for green...etc..since we have lots of wild weeds instead of grass, it is easy to do in our yard! ;)
