Melissa & Doug Let's Explore Indoor/Outdoor Scavenger Hunt Play Set

This is a fun game for kids! I love playing with my son and he enjoys playing with his grandparents as well. I like that there are inside and outside cards. I love that it gets kids moving. Definitely buy.

This year I wanted to buy more kids Christmas gifts that weren't digitally focused and happened upon this. I think it'll be a great game that will keep the kids occupied for a long time if they get into it.

Gave this to my granddaughters today, ages 4, 8 and 10! They had soooo much fun with both the inside items as well as the outside ones!! Highly recommended!!!!!!

My grandson and his little brother had a blast running around finding things matching what was on the cards. They put them in the bags.

Has some good cards but I had to go through and remove some for items that would not be available in our area. I suppose this is expected as the country is so varied in environment.

I bought this for my 5yo and 2yo. The younger one ended up filling his tote with whatever he could find. But, my 5yo was rockin this game!! She had so much fun running all over the house to collect the items she needed from the “indoor cards”! We really enjoy this game! We are excited to try the “outdoor cards”, but judging by the cards I glanced at, there will be a lot more that we are unable to find.

Love this! Purchased for a small child for Christmas. It’s great that it can be used indoors or outdoors. And you can switch up the cards.

Engaging for siblings/friends to collaborate in the effort

This is the second set I’ve purchased. My kids love it. Gets them outside!

Bought this to take on our camping trip. It was fun to do as we explored the out doors. The little bag is the perfect addition to hold all the treasures your little one will find along the way.

This is a great little set. I have a 2 and 4 year old. It was better for my 4 year old but the younger one still played along. I think it’s best suited for 3 and older. I’d say ages 3-7 would be entertained well by this. I love that there is an indoor option too.

My 5y/o loves this activity. I love that there are so many options to filter through. We haven’t even used the outdoor options yet. This will be much used in our household!

Melissa and Doug products are always ingenious and well made. Perfect for my 3 year old who loves to make lists, find things and put them in a bag- this set has all of that, and for a great price.

This set was so much fun. I love that it had options for both inside and outside scavenger hunts. And there was plenty of variety in the cards so that we haven’t done the same hunt twice. I’m happy to have a new way to entertain my kids outdoors and socially distant.

What a fun idea - especially in current times. This scavenger hunt game can be a solo activity for a single child or done in two teams. I particularly enjoy that the card deck has both indoor and outdoor options so it can be done any time, 365 days per year. There are two fabric bags included for the children to carry their found objects, but they also carry the illustrated, full color cards. Since each bag displays 6 cards, the game is even better because kids aren't each searching for the same items (no one wants to overhear two children or groups of children fighting over a single watch or the lone blue flower) but rather they each have their 6 items clearly pictured, carried along with them. While some of the cards will still require a competent reader, some options are so clearly illustrated that even a toddler could recognize what they are meant to find. There is an included timer if you intend to time the activity or have a competition, but it's not required. Once the kids are all done, I pack everything inside one of the bags to store it away. I love toys that will get my kids exploring and moving and that's exactly what this product does. It'll likely be my go-to gift for ages 3-7. Highly recommend!

this scavenger hunt kit is great, my daughter loved exploring and searching for the items. This kit with way more then I would have even expected.

this is a great twist an an old game. The lists of things to find help the younger kids easily understand how the game works and allows them to have as much fun as possible going on an adventure to find all the special items.

This is a really cute scavenger hunt kit! The little carry bags have slots to place the item cards so that child don’t have to carry a list. The cards are double sided, one side for indoor items and the other for outdoor items. There are ‘wild cards’ that let you find any item within 3 categories, specific items, certain adjectives (i.e. ‘flat rock’), items of a certain color or beginning with a letter, so this is a pretty well rounded game that incorporates several skills. Pre-readers my need some help as the picture hint isn’t always clear (my daughter didn’t recognize the ‘seed pod’ example) but independent readers will have fun playing on their own. The timer allows for one child to ‘race the clock’ to play independently as well. I like that everything is compact and can store on one of the bags, makes it a great game to take on the go to a park or on vacation. Some of the cards are a little redundant but otherwise it’s a great activity for young kids! My 5 year old loves it!

A great activity for kids in various age groups! My kids absolutely enjoyed playing with the scavenger hunt, especially my 5 and 4 year old. The activity was great opportunity to play, while staying safe. The pictures on the cards really help and the totes have cute slots to hold the card. Would highly recommend for young children looking for something fun to do at home!

Fun game to get kids thinking and moving! There are options for both indoor and outdoor scavenger hunts. Kids will need to be old enough to read the instruction on the cards (the pictures aren't always enough to understand the objective) or have an adult go with them. The egg timer is a nice way to make it more challenging for older kids, providing a time limit. My sons have enjoyed playing this.
