Circle Hunt in the Garden!

A fun shape-hunting activity for young learners
Bring the garden to life with this engaging Circle Hunt in the Garden activity! Children explore a busy garden scene and carefully search for circles hidden throughout the picture.
Once they spot a circle, they colour it in! From flowers and insects to garden tools and plants, there are lots of details for little learners to explore while developing important early learning skills.
