Nature Scavenger Hunt... in a Craft!

Part of the Climate Resilient Communities Series

Starting on March 27th, come and pick up the sheets to make your own hunt-tellers and use this fun craft to explore Nature (insects, birds and mammals) with them wherever you are!

We hope you enjoy this nostalgic, outdoor, fun-for-the-whole-family activity!

Here's how it works:

Starting March 27, stop by the Children's Desk or the Robert Crown Library Branch and pick up your unique fortune-teller-style scavenger hunt pages.

Or, download and print from home.

Enjoy making your fortune teller (surprise!!) and use it to locate everything in it. Remember: Leave natural materials where you found them - no collecting! Click here for a refresher video on how to make the 3-D shape (or see below for the video)

In this asynchronous, self-guided event, you can learn about animal habitats around you (so many and so close!), the biodiversity of our area, and how you can help protect it. 

This accessible and adaptable scavenger hunt can be done in any natural space, from the alleys around your house, to a playground or lakeshore, or if you are lucky enough to find yourself in a a National Park.

Once you've had fun learning about birds, insects, scavengers and local fauna, head to the library to collect a small nature-related prize (starting April 2nd and until April 15th).

Organized in collaboration with Natural Habitat Evanston.
