Fall is one of the best times to get outside with your little ones—the air is crisp, the colors are changing, and nature is bursting with things to see, touch, and explore! That’s why we created the Fall Outdoor Scavenger Hunt printable for families to enjoy together.

This simple, hands-on activity turns an ordinary walk into an exciting learning adventure! Kids will have fun spotting leaves, acorns, and animals—while building curiosity, observation skills, and a love for the great outdoors.
