For our latest preschooler project, we had a bit of fun going on our very first Scavenger Hunt, one with a NUMBER theme!

Number Scavenger Hunt for Preschoolers

Kiddo wasn’t really sure what a scavenger hunt was, so I joined in the fun this time.

Creating a number scavenger hunt couldn’t be easier.

Step 1: Create a Number Station

I had laminated this numbers chart which I found at a local store and we set it in the living room as we ran around the house.  We would use this as our home base. If you don’t have a numbers chart, no worries. Simply print out numbers 1-10 on white paper or use markers instead.

Step 2: Go Hunting

You might have to help younger kiddos, but the goal is to find the amount of an item per number. So we needed to find one of something, two of something, three of something, etc.

This mama wanted to start with the biggest numbers first.

From Little People and crayons to toy screwdrivers and hair bows, we finally finished!  We found 10 crayons, four blocks, eight strawberries, two plastic play screwdrivers, and more. Get creative!

    This is a fun cool way of helping children learn there numbers. They wont even realize your teaching them something LOL What a great idea to share with other moms and babysitters to

    I’ve never tried a Scavenger Hunt like this for my girls….they are far too grown now, but this will be GREAT for my 3 year old niece, she needs something like this to really challenge her! Thank you so much for the awesome idea!!!!

    I love this idea- simple and fun! I’ll have to try it with my 4 year old. Combining learning with movement is great for him!

    I’m always looking for fun new ways to teach my 3 yr old daughter her numbers & how to count. This is such a good idea, one that I believe she & I both will enjoy!! Thanks

    This is a very cute idea! I’m sure my daughter would like searching for toys, while learning about her numbers. I’ve always wanted to do an outdoor scavenger hunt (like search for a pinecone, acorn, bug, etc).

    This is such a cute idea. I can’t believe how creative you are. I didn’t do this type of thing with my kids when they were young. We did other stuff but nothing that was craft or required me to do a craft to do it. 🙂

    This is a great idea! You could also teach simple addition with this chart.
    When Austin was three we labeled everything in the house with 3X5 cards. Sofa, wall, door, table….
    I believe it helped him learn to read which he was doing before kindergarten. Now he’s a major book worm. When we get home from holiday I plan to label the house again for Kennedy. ;D

    You have such great ideas! My daughter is just a bit younger than yours so we often hunt for things by color. She’s pretty good except for black, white and brown. The other day she told me I had blue eyes, I asked her what color daddy’s were and she thought for a minute then said red. She couldn’t think of the word brown, I nearly wet myself laughing!
