Educational scavenger hunts


Picture of child with camera Turn a scavenger hunt into a learning game.

Picture of mother and daughter looking at printed photos Sit together and enjoy your child's photos anywhere in your home.

Kids never run out of things to take photos of, but sometimes it helps to give them specific objects to search for.

  • Ask them to find and photograph a certain number of objects that are a particular color or shape-like 10 red objects or 12 square objects.
  • For a more advanced game, ask them to photograph concepts like "love" or "warmth." You'll be amazed at how well children can communicate these abstract concepts through a photo.

Once the photo fun is done, it's fun to sit with your child to print and talk about their photos. It's an enjoyable and creative way to connect with your child and see the world through his or her eyes.

Encourage your child to tell stories and talk about their photos. You can ask questions like:
  • Which one is his/her favorite photo?
  • What color or object would he/she like to photograph next time?
  • What order would your child put the photos in? Why?

Because you can use an HP compact photo printer without a PC, you can sit, and enjoy your child's photos anywhere in your home. Take a seat at the kitchen table or get comfortable on the sofa.

Take the learning a step further by using an HP A646 Compact Photo Printer to label the photos-you can write directly on the picture using the touchscreen and included stylus pen.
