Family fun with a dog friendly scavenger hunt

With the beauty that surrounds us here in north Devon it would be a great shame to pass up the opportunity to make the most of it. If you are holidaying with your family in dog friendly holiday cottages north Devon offers up a splendid chance to get active and keep everyone entertained. We can help you out with this timeless classic that will surely never die out- we are of course talking about a good ol’ scavenger hunt. If you’re stuck for ideas to include on the list of things to hunt for, fear not, we have 12 things you’re likely to come across while on a while staying in the countryside. The good thing about a scavenger hunt is that you can take your pet out to help sniff out items while you’re playing the game with your children. If you wanted to continue the game and go one step further once everything has been found on the list you could get your children to write a journal describing the objects and where they were found. So get your pens and paper at the ready, here is our list of ideas for you to get out and scavenge for: 1. Something fuzzy 2. Two kinds of seeds 3. Two pieces of man-made litter 4. Something rough 5. Four different types of leaves 6. Something green 7. Something brown 8. A pretty stone/ rock 9. Something you think is beautiful 10. A stick 11. Something that can make a noise 12. Something you will treasure Don’t just stop with our list though. You can make the list as long as you want but for now we hope that our ideas will keep you busy.
