Toy Scavenger Hunt for Colors

March 5, 2012 by 20 Comments

Go on a scavenger hunt around the house for what’s already all over. The toys! Find them in every color of the rainbow!

Toy Scavenger Hunt for Colors

We’re going on a toy hunt!

A hunt for toys in the colors of the rainbow.

I started with drawing a rainbow on a large sheet of butcher [art] paper.

[That's it! Not much for prep!]

Toy Scavenger Hunt for Colors

I sent Henry on a hunt for small toys of each color of the rainbow.

We had a fun time searching around the house for each color.

Henry arranged the toys onto the rainbow I drew.

It took a lot of toys!

And some testing to see what toys ‘fit’ onto the rainbow [some were way too large to place on such a small line].

It was a fun rainbow hunt to do with Henry.

And Henry wanted to keep our rainbow toy collage set up.

It was hard to keep George from it, but we did manage to keep it for a couple of days, when Henry was ready to put the toys away. Another adventure of using his dump truck to haul them all.

 

Some other scavenger hunts of ours:

Henry is 3.5 years old.

    Love this post!! I came up with something very similar but it looks more like a heap of junk, so haven’t posted it yet on the blog since I am going to give it another go with my daughter to see if we can turn out a little better. ;) She did have fun making it.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you for having SEVEN colors. I am surprised at how many posts about rainbows are only six colors. My grandkids know that there are seven colors (thank you Cat in The Hat, and Sid the Science Kid) and anything less they will proclaim are WRONG. I know I could just add another color to any project, but some of the printables out there only have six. When we do our color science theme I will link to you! So again…THANK YOU!

    PS. Prismacolor Colored Pencils actually have an indigo color whew!

    Adorable. Love it. Can’t wait to do it. I’ve done this sort of thing with a Venn Diagram and combining colors…but I am partial to this rainbow approach! TY for sharing with us!
