As you probably know, I absolutely love scavenger hunts for kids. Why not make a Christmas scavenger hunt for them to go on?!

We’ve did one last week and the boys got such a kick out of it, I’ve decided to go on a hunt to find more Christmas scavenger hunts for them to try!

Do these in teams with adults for the younger kids or let the kids do them on their own.

Either way these fun scavenger hunt ideas will get you all in the holiday mood!
