Search for textured treasures! From a prickly pinecone to a soft sweater, everything we touch has texture. How many textures can you find inside or outside of your house? Race the clock or race a friend with this printable scavenger hunt.

Materials

Instructions

1

Print the scavenger hunt table. If you are playing with a friend, print two.

2

Begin hunting for textures on your list. Texture describes the feel or appearance of an object or the material an object is made of.

3

When you find something, draw a picture or write the object's name next to its matching texture.

More Ways to Play

  • Instead of drawing or writing, snap photos with a digital camera.
  • In the spaces on your sheet, make crayon rubbings of the textures you find.
  • Target your scavenger hunt. Look for objects in nature, in your kitchen, or on your walk to school.
  • Explore other senses. Find things with different colors, smells, or even tastes — if found in the kitchen, of course!
