Get Outside & Explore

Here at Magnetic Me, we exist to bring ease and joy to families with easy magnetic outfits that leave more time for connection and the moments that truly matter—like spring scavenger hunts with the family.

Spring is the perfect time to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and explore the wonders of nature. Our Earth Day Spring Scavenger Hunt is a fantastic way to engage kids in the beauty of the season while teaching them to appreciate the environment. From spotting colorful flowers to finding interesting leaves, this adventure turns a simple walk into a fun-filled discovery mission.

Create Your Own Nature Face

After your scavenger hunt, bring the fun home by transforming your found treasures into a creative Nature Face craft. Follow these simple steps:

Collect all of your findings. Don’t worry if you didn’t find everything on the list—just gather what you did find and organize them into groups.
Cut a piece of cardboard or thick paper into the shape of a face—either oval or circular.
Arrange your nature pieces to form eyes, a nose, a mouth, and even hair. Once you’re happy with your design, glue each piece onto the face shape.
Show off your masterpiece. Take a picture and share your creation to celebrate Earth Day.
