Color Scavenger Hunt

We went for a short walk on a bike path near the river.  Before we went I took an empty egg crate and painted each spot a different color.  (One of them was left unpainted and was a good place to hold it.)

He found a leaf with pink on it, a red flower petal, an orange flower, a yellowish rock, a green grass blade, a bluish rock, a white rock, a grey rock, a black rock, a brown stick, and a purple flower.

It was pretty fun.  I think next time we do this, I need to make one for each of the kids.  I envisioned it as a preschool activity but the big kids kept trying to put things in the egg crate for him!  They would probably love to do it again and have their own.
