grocery store scavenger hunt

It can be difficult keeping kids busy while you shop the aisles of the grocery store. After all, there is so much to look at and both you and your child can become easily overwhelmed.

Luckily, there are ways to keep kids occupied while you shop. A grocery store scavenger hunt is a great way to keep kids busy while you check off your own shopping list.

Now, let’s look at 40 items your kids can keep an eye out for at your local grocery store. How many of these items do you think they can spot and check off?

You can print off this list for easy reference and checking. Or, print the items off, cut them into strips, and let the kids pull a strip out of an envelope as you shop. They can then look for each item as they pull it. There’s no need to look for all 40 items each time you shop.

Great Big List of Free Activities for when You’re Stuck Indoors

Mar 15 | Frugal Living, Easy DIY, Grocery Saving Tips, Money Saving Tips

Here is a great list of free indoor activities and ideas that you can enjoy as a family or even virtually with others!

Throughout these strange and uncertain world events as of late, I have been collecting links to activities and helpful articles. In my online world, I am always amazed to see amazing humans step out and share their knowledge to try to make these, perhaps uncomfortable, days a bit easier. Life is so much better when we can learn to come together, even in unconventional ways. (Separately, in our own homes. LOL)

In these coming weeks, I would highly encourage you to set yourself up to create positive memories to strengthen your relationships. In times of crisis or upheaval, fear and anxiety really don’t serve us well. Take the necessary precautions, find the happy moments, dream together and tell your family and friends how much you love and appreciate them.

With all that said, here is my list of free indoor activities and ideas that you can enjoy as a family or even virtually with others. Make a list of things you want to accomplish as a family or even some projects on your own.

Activities for Kids:

Educational:

For Everyone:

Many churches offer a livestream of their service. Try a local church or perhaps something else from around the world for some encouragement.

I’m also noticing many local stores offering free delivery. Take advantage of this and support your local small businesses!

During this time, food may also be at the forefront of many of our thoughts. Here is another list with helpful articles relating to feeding our families:

And because many of you might be finding yourself a work at home parent now, here are some resources for you:

If you have come across some great free activities or helpful links, please let me know and I’ll get them added to the list!
