Free Halloween Scavenger Hunt Printable for Kids
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year—not just for the costumes and candy, but for all the fun activities I get to do with my two toddlers. If you’re looking for a festive, screen-free activity that keeps little ones entertained while making family memories, I’ve got you covered! I created this free Halloween Scavenger Hunt printable that’s perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and even older kids.
Whether you’re hosting a classroom party, planning a family Halloween night in, or just want to get your kids outside and moving, this scavenger hunt adds excitement to the season without being scary.
Why Toddlers Love Scavenger Hunts
If you’re a toddler mom like me, you know how important it is to keep activities simple, engaging, and playful. A scavenger hunt checks all those boxes. Kids love spotting everyday Halloween decorations like pumpkins, scarecrows, and spider webs. Each time they find something, they feel proud—plus, it helps build observation skills and keeps their little bodies moving.
This Halloween scavenger hunt works both indoors and outdoors. You can:
- Walk around your neighborhood and spot festive decorations.
- Set up items in your own home or yard for little ones to find.
- Use it at a Halloween party as a fun group activity.
What’s Included in the Free Halloween Scavenger Hunt
The printable is designed with kid-friendly illustrations that are cute (not spooky!) and easy for toddlers to recognize. Here’s what’s on the list:
- Ghost 👻
- Spider or Web 🕷️
- Witch Hat 🎩
- Graveyard headstone 🪦
- Bat 🦇
- Scarecrow 🌾
- Skeleton or Skull 💀
- Pumpkin 🎃
- Candy Corn 🍬
- Mummy 🤍
- Black Cat 🐈⬛
- Bale of Hay 🌾
- Corn Stalk 🌽
- The word “BOO” 👀

All you have to do is download, print, and play—easy peasy!
How to Play
- Print out one copy of the scavenger hunt for each child (laminate if you want to reuse it year after year).
- Grab a crayon, marker, or sticker sheet so your child can mark items as they spot them.
- Head out for a Halloween walk, drive around looking at decorations, or use items you already have at home.
- Celebrate when your little one finds everything on the list!
FYI: You don’t have to check off every item in one sitting! Make it a month-long adventure by bringing the scavenger hunt out on walks, playdates, or errands throughout October. Your kids will love spotting new decorations each time. You can even replay it in different neighborhoods—or turn it into a fun car-ride activity when you’re out and about.
