Treasure Hunts

Find and decorate an old shoebox to hold artifacts found on a treasure hunt. Hide items that are interesting and that tell a story, like a letter from grandma, pictures of historic places, and mechanical gadgets. Create clues and send kids exploring inside and outside. For ideas about scavenger hunts, visit the Pinterest Kids Treasure/Scavenger Hunts website. Here you will find loads of information, from how to make clues to hundreds of ready made hunts. All age groups are included, and there are lots of step-by-step guides. This is a great summer activity.

These treasure hunts were updated in January 2019.
