Planning the Scavenger Hunt
First you'll need to decide how you want to handle your scavenger hunt.
There are a few questions you'll want to ask yourself:
What will the treasure be?
Do I want to put a small gift to find for each clue or have one stash of goodies for the kids to find at the end of the scavenger hunt?
This is totally up to you, your budget, and what you want to do each year.
Of course, gifts don't have to be expensive.
They can be love notes cut out of coloured paper or you could make these cute DIY Valentine's heart wands.
So get creative!
When will we do the scavenger hunt?
This depends a lot on your schedule.
While starting the day with a cool memory is nice, not all parents are home in the morning.
And sometimes the kids are not up for morning activities.
Another great time to do scavenger hunt is after school or even after dinner.
Maybe a dessert scavenger hunt with one of these delicious dessert recipes at the end of it?

Setting up the Valentine's Day Scavenger Hunt
To help, here are some tips to get you started:
1. Make a list of items that can be found around the house or in the backyard.
This can include anything from candy hearts and stickers, to stuffed animals and flowers.
2. If you're feeling adventurous, take the scavenger hunt outside into your neighborhood or local park.
This is a great way to get some fresh air and explore new areas.
3. Hide clues in different places for the kids to find.
This could be anything from love notes written on colourful paper, to small presents tucked away.
4. Older children or homeschoolers might enjoy doing a research scavenger hunt where they have to find information about certain things related to the holiday.
5. Younger children will love finding out what emotions are hidden around the house and garden, as well as getting a cute Valentine's card from their parents or older siblings to celebrate.
