Today we will use our senses of sight, smell, and touch to explore one of spring's most anticipated arrivals: flowers! The task is simple - grab a pen and use the scavenger hunt below to search your neighborhood, park, or yard for some of spring's first flowers. 

Materials:

• Writing utensil 
• Scavenger hunt card (attached as PDFs at bottom of article for printing)

Optional Discussion Questions:

• If you gently touch the flower, how do its petals feel? Are parts of it smooth or rough?
• How many different colors of flowers can you find?
• How would you describe the shape of the petals? 
• Why are most flowers a vibrant color? 
• What do you notice about the environment that this flower grows in? Is it sunny or shady? Grassy or rocky? 
• What flower was your favorite and why?

We would love to know what you're finidng outside! Tag us on Instagram and Facebook @AudubonVermont
