Ponds offer children an endless source of wonder. They constantly change, and there are new things to discover with each visit. Scavenger hunts are a great way for children to develop their observational skills in nature while learning and having fun at the same time. Because the edges of ponds contain a diverse set of plants and animals, they are a great place to challenge kids to go on a hunt. Great to print out and take with you when you visit a local pond.
