Benefits of the Garden Scavenger Hunt

This garden scavenger hunt is great as a go-along with your garden theme. It provides many benefits for your student.

Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
Scavenger hunts require movement; this promotes gross motor development.
A scavenger hunt through the garden can provide safe sensory input for your student (touch a fuzzy leaf, look for a bright flower, taste a fruit or vegetable, and hear someone working with a tool).
If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.
