Valentines Scavenger Hunt Set-Up Tips
*This Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt will need to be set up ahead of time by an adult. Put the clues in the correct places and a prize at the end (if desired). A great place to put the first clue is in a Valentine’s themed book you play to read together, set it on the table upon waking up for the day or from nap, or just bring it out and give it to your children. See the list below for directions on where to put the rest of your clues:
STARTing clue: In a Valentine’s themed book, sitting on the kitchen table, or in a spot your child may stumble upon it while playing.
- Under the covers of a bed in the home
- In an art cabinet or anywhere else you may keep crayons and coloring utensils – tape to a box of crayons
- Near a speaker, TV, or anywhere else you may listen to music together
- In a cabinet or on a shelf where you keep flour, sugar, and other baking materials

- In a drawer or cabinet where you store chocolate and treats
- In a closet near reusable shopping bags or plastic bags that you store for later.
- Taped underneath a favorite chair: kitchen chair, rocking chair, comfy chair, etc…
- Tape this one under the chair and put a bag of treats, a Valentine’s surprise, or any other item desired to go with it.
*When completing this fun Valentine’s scavenger hunt in our home we always like to add in a fun treat bag or prize at the end. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive.
