Magazine Scavenger Hunt

Pick up any magazine and you'll have all you need for a pictorial scavenger hunt. No matter the type of periodical, you can use it to start a seek-and-find. If it's a family magazine, ask your child to find a van, a baby, a dog, a house, and more. If it's a design magazine, children can find a bed, an oven, a window. And if happens to be a food magazine, you can ask your child to find something they might eat for breakfast or lunch or at a restaurant.
