Benefits of the Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt for Kids

This Valentine scavenger hunt is great as a go-along with your valentine theme. It provides many benefits for your student.

Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
Scavenger hunts require movements; this promotes gross motor development.
A scavenger hunt can provide safe sensory input for your student (feel the fuzzy teddy bear, taste the cupcake, smell the flowers, etc.).
Coloring in the items on the page also boosts fine motor skills.
If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.
