Complete This Ultimate Photo Scavenger Hunt This Spring Break

Looking for a fun Spring Break activity for you and your family? Get your smartphone or camera ready, we’re going on a scavenger hunt! To help inspire your creativity and encourage you to experiment with photography, our London Drugs Photolab invites you to participate in the ultimate Photo Scavenger Hunt this Spring Break. Each of the photo categories below will challenge you to examine your surroundings from a different perspective, experiment with different photography styles, and hone your photo-taking skills. Plus, you can share your scavenger hunt photos with us on Instagram for a chance to win a $100 printing credit for our London Drugs Photolab!

Here’s how to participate in our Spring Break Photo Scavenger Hunt contest:

  • Follow @LDPhotolab on Instagram
  • Share your scavenger hunt photos on Instagram with the hashtag #LDPhotoScavengerHunt to be entered for a chance to win a $100 LDPhotolab printing credit!

You can post one entry per scavenger hunt category, for a total of up to 20 entries. The more categories you enter, the more chances you’ll have to win the $100 prize! Make sure to indicate in your caption which category your photo is fulfilling. The contest runs March 15 – April 5, 2021. Official contest rules can be found below.

Plus, your photo could be selected for a feature on our Instagram Stories!

Tips to Get You Started

This photo scavenger hunt is meant to get you thinking creatively about your surroundings! Once you’ve looked through the list of categories above, here are a few photo tips to get your started:

  • Think outside the box – You don’t have to take the categories literally! For example, ‘something green’ could be the colour green, or something environmentally-friendly.
  • Try a new perspective – Before you take the shot, consider if a low or high perspective would add to the photo’s interest, rather than simply shooting it straight-on. Sometimes, a change in perspective can convey an entirely different message.
  • Try shooting on film – One of the things people enjoy most about film photography is that it makes you think more intentionally when composing and capturing your shots. Plus, there’s the wonderful feeling of excitement that comes with seeing your newly developed photos for the first time! If you don’t already have a film camera, we offer a selection of single-use cameras and instant cameras. And if you already have a film camera, we have you covered, with a selection of film products as well. Of course, we can also develop your film for you when you’re done the roll!
  • Get creative at home – You don’t have to leave the house to participate. Just get creative with the categories. For example, ‘an uplifting sign’ could be a sign you see through your window, and blossoms could be from a house plant.
  • Challenge friends/family – Why not create some friendly competition? Challenge your friends or family to see how many categories they can capture within a set amount of time. Or delegate one person as a judge, and have awards for the top photos based on photographic skill, artistic sensibilities, emotion, impact and originality. This could be something you do together with your bubble, or connect virtually with those outside your bubble afterwards to share your photos.

Proudly Displaying Your Scavenger Hunt Photos

Once you’ve completed our scavenger hunt, it’s time to admire your photos! You might just find you’ve taken some real gems. Before those photos disappear into the abyss of your smartphone or memory card, why not do something more with them?

If you’re particularly proud of one of the photos you took, consider printing it as an enlargement you can display. We can print all the way up to 44×96 and offer mounting up to 24×36. Aluminum metal panels, canvas gallery wraps or our fine art prints (like Kauai and Baryta) are also great options if you want to really elevate your images. If you can’t decide on just one image that you love, create a collage with all of your favourites!

If you participated in the scavenger hunt as a family, you can create your own personalized Spring Break photo book, with pages featuring each person’s images. Your photo book could also include images beyond just the scavenger hunt, from bike rides to baking at home – however you’re spending time together! Considering this Spring Break will look vastly different than usual, it’s worth documenting all the ways you and your family made the most of your time at home this year. It will make a valuable keepsake you can look back on years from now.

 

We look forward to seeing all of your Spring Break Photo Scavenger Hunt snapshots over on Instagram with the #LDPhotoScavengerHunt hashtag!

5 Ways to Feel Like You’re Having a Real Break This Spring Break

Spring may have arrived yesterday, but spring break has been in full swing all month.

The idea behind spring break is to have fun and chill out. The logistics, however, are often more complex than that. Just because the calendar says it’s a break, doesn’t mean you actually get one.

So, we’ve curated 5 ideas to help you feel like you’re having a real break this spring break, regardless of whether you get one afternoon off, or a full week. After all, you deserve it.

5 Ways to Feel Like You're Having a Real Break This Spring Break

1. Carve out time to do nothing. Even if nothing is something

 

When someone asks us “how are you?” our first response is often “oh, I’m so busy!” We often pride ourselves on how packed our schedules are, but that business can take a real toll on our mental and physical health. To feel like you’re having a real break this spring break, stop being busy! Carve time out that is just for you.

This can look like a lot of things, depending on what you need most. Book a spa day and let someone else pamper you. Pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read and cozy into the couch for as long as it takes to finish it. Hop on your bike and explore the local trails. If you’re more of a Netflix kind of person, allow yourself a full day or two to binge your favourite shows — guilt-free! Or, simply sleep-in or nap until your heart’s content.

Giving yourself space to do nothing at all — or something you really enjoy — helps you refill your cup and recharge, and be truly present for those around you. So, you do you; treat yourself!

2. Visit with a good friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while

 

How many times have you checked your phone, texting back and forth with someone, only to realize it’s been weeks — or months — since you last saw that person? With so many obligations it’s easy to let time slip away. It happens to the best of us. To feel like you’re having a real break this spring break, visit with a good friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while and really catch up!

While texting and social platforms like Facebook and Instagram are great for viewing the highlights of someone’s life, they are not quality time spent with a loved one. Face-to-face contact is important to maintain relationships and battle social isolation. The energy exchange, physical contact, and real life support of someone you love can’t be replicated through a screen.

Pro tip: instead of simply saying “let’s meet up,” actually schedule a date and time — and then show up!

3. Move your body

 

We’ve heard it before and all know the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy body and balanced mind. But it’s still difficult to fit fitness into our daily routines. Long work days, family demands, and social appointments often take precedence over physical activity. Sadly, taking care of everything — and everyone — else often holds priority. To feel like you’re having a real break this spring break, move your body!

While doing nothing at all can feel really good, doing something active can feel even better, and tracking it helps you reach your goals. As something that often gets shelved thanks to other obligations, giving yourself permission to exercise is a good way to take a break and take care of you.

Whatever your thing is — yoga, biking, hiking, running, brisk walking, or even dancing — do it! Get the gear you need to get those muscles moving and get that blood pumping. Your brain and body will feel recharged and rejuvenated.

4. Adventure somewhere close to home (or abroad)

 

As the days get longer, the opportunity to adventure after work or on weekends grows. It’s light well until 7 pm now and that means new opportunities to explore. The regular routine can begin to feel monotonous or tiring, and that’s okay. We all need a little change, now and then — it’s in our nature. To feel like you’re having a real break this spring break, get out of your daily routine and adventure somewhere close to home (or abroad!)

Not everyone gets a lot of time off over spring break, but that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a little wanderlust. If you’re staying close to home, there are lots of places you can create great memories right in your own backyard. If you’re travelling abroad, pack light for ease of movement and less stress, and make sure your passport photos are up to date. Either way, taking part in an activity you haven’t done before or embarking on a trip to a place you’ve never visited expands your heart, mind, and restarts the soul.

Whether you’re adventuring close to home or abroad, keep an open mind, make sure your travel emergency kit is packed, and you fill your cup with brave new stories!

5 Ways to Feel Like You're Having a Real Break This Spring Break

5. Unplug

 

Along with “taxes and death,” social media is perhaps another certain thing in this life. Benjamin Franklin didn’t see that one coming, but it really is unavoidable. Facebook alone has 2.27 billion monthly active users and many social networks like Instagram, You Tube, and Pinterest are growing every day. Social media is great for getting the latest updates from friends and family or to pass the time when you’re bored, but all that screen time often leaves us feeling like we’re scrambling to keep up. To feel like you’re getting a real break this spring break, unplug.

You do not have to keep up. You do not have to compare yourself to others. You do not have to plug-in. There — we gave you permission. So turn off the notifications, put the phone down, and go do any of the four points above! You have a right to live life in real time, rather than online time. That’s what having a break is all about.

And hey — if it feels good,  maybe consider trying a social media diet. You never know how much time you might be able to open up once spring break is over, and ride that break-like-feeling well into summer.

5 Ways to Feel Like You're Having a Real Break This Spring Break

 

If you need help or supplies for your #RealSpringBreak this spring break, we can help! Whether it’s snacks for the road, travel insurance, or a few self-pampering supplies, we got you. Stop by your local London Drugs and pick up your essentials — we’d love to see you!

5 Family Spring Break Ideas Right in Your Backyard

If a tropical vacation isn’t in the cards for spring break this year, finding fun in your own backyard can be easy and exciting. Embracing the seasonal transition can inspire lots of simple household activities from vegetable garden prep, to closet organizing, to local outdoor adventures like biking, picnics, and foraging in nature. Here are five ideas for a fun family spring break right in your own backyard.

Plan Your Summer Garden

Family Spring Break Ideas

It might not be planting time yet, but there’s still a chance for kids to dig in the dirt and get their hands dirty. Science even supports the idea that letting kids play in the dirt has positive benefits from calming their nerves to improving their microbiome.

Make an activity out of browsing a seed catalogue, creating a collage of your vegetable wish-list, and setting up a starter tray in your home. It’s as simple as buying a small bag of potting soil and a few pouches of seeds. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers make great starters. You can even buy a starter pot-maker to make little pots out of recycled newspaper.

Get more tips on starting your garden.

“Travel” Through the Library

Who says travel only happens on planes, trains, and automobiles? Take a trip to your local library and invite the kids to choose a book on a foreign country.

Use that as a jumping off point for a theme day. You could make a meal of dishes from the region (involving the kids in the cooking, of course), learn a few expressions to say to each other throughout the day, spend an afternoon tracing outlines of the country map and colouring them in. Added bonus — your kids get a geography lesson while they’re pretend-travelling to other countries.

Get Outside

Family Spring Break Ideas

It might still be too cold for a long afternoon picnic, but you can make the most of clear days by having a morning or afternoon tea time in the park. Pack a special snack and a waterproof mat for the occasion, and enjoy the fresh air with simple outdoor games like frisbee, tag, or kite-flying.

You could even collect fallen leaves, pinecones, and rocks, for painting and crafting with later. Don’t forget to invite some friends!

Get on Wheels

Spring Break is the perfect time to get the bikes tuned up, make sure helmets still fit, and start building up little ones’ stamina for those long summer bike rides.

Find a map of local trails and highlight which ones are nearby and kid-friendly. Plan short regular outings when the days are dry and the kids have lots of energy to burn.

“Konmari” Your Kids’ Closets

Family Spring Break Ideas

Spring doesn’t reserve its sprouting for flowers! Most children seem to grow an inch or two by the time spring break rolls around. In keeping with Marie Kondo’s “konmari” organizing craze, why not get the kids involved in their own wardrobe?

Take an hour or two to go through their closets with them and see what still fits from last summer. You could even create a mini-fashion show as a rainy day activity. Sort through what’s outgrown, make a list of what’s needed, and teach the kids how to fold and stack their own clothes. You’ll not only be scratching things off your to-do list, but giving them the satisfaction of shiny clean rooms! 

Get more tips on decluttering and home organization.

However you spend your spring break, we wish you a fun time with your family!

15+ Easy, Cheap and Fun Indoor Activities for Kids

With the cold weather upon us, we know that extended indoor time can be a challenge. So here’s 15 ideas for entertaining the little ones within your four walls.We offer these ideas for entertaining the little ones within your four walls.

Giant Box Art

Have a big cardboard box taking up space in the house? Before you toss it into the recycling bin, take a handful of crayons or markers and drop them inside, add one toddler (or two if you have another on hand) and watch it come to life. We all know toddlers love to write on walls, and these walls are fair game. Older kids can join in the fun too with more elaborate creations on the outside–pirate ship, princess castle, space shuttle, airplane–the possibilities are endless! Speaking of endless, there are loads of fun and simple activities to do with cardboard boxes.

 

Escape the Volcano

This fantastic game is inspired by The Floor Is Lava, but it’s a little more involved. The planning is worth it, though, because it gets your kids moving and thinking with colour matching, exercise, riddles, and more.

 

Sponge Finger Painting

If your kids love finger painting but you hate the mess, keep it under control with sponges. Makeup sponges work great for keeping the paint in one place, and clean up is easy if you keep them on a plate or plastic tray.

 

Baking

indoor activities - baking

Baking is a great rainy-day activity for kids of any age. Not only do they get yummy treats at the end, but they learn a little about chemistry and where their food actually comes from. No worries if you’re not an expert baker yourself – try these super-simple recipes from Delish.com that anyone can master. Don’t forget to stock up on baking tools and supplies!

Yoga

Yes, your little ones can do yoga! There are lots of great DVDs to help your toddlers and kids get started with yoga, but our favourite videos are from Cosmic Kids. In each free YouTube video, likeable host Jamie walks little yogis through a new adventure, including favourites like Moana, Star Wars, Frozen, and other fun stories, while learning the basics of flexibility, balance, strength, and mindfulness. Move the coffee table, grab your mat, and get ready for some fun. Bonus–you can sneak in your own workout right next to the kids!

 

Indoor Picnic

If grilled cheese and baby carrots are getting a bit boring, inject some fun into lunch and have an indoor picnic! Pack portable containers into a basket, clear some space, put down a blanket or tablecloth, and voilà! For extra fun, add some “outdoor” details like homemade grass, flowers, trees (aka tall potted plants), etc. Don’t forget to invite the stuffed animals! You can also continue the fun into the night with an indoor campout. Especially fun for a sleep over!

 

Spy Laser Obstacle Course

A ball of yarn or string is all you need for this secret mission. Find a narrow passageway like a hallway or stair case, and wrap the string at different angles back and forth at kid-height (painter’s tape works well too, if you’ve only got walls to deal with). Little kids will have a blast trying to climb through the configuration, and you can take the challenge up a notch for older kids with spy backstories, timed races, secret maps, special treasure missions, or a spy movie shoot. More ideas and instructions at mykidsadventures.com.

Make Your Own Book

If you’ve read the 478th book to your kids, why not get them to make their own books? There are many tutorials online about homemade book projects, but we found a great place to start with this simple one, which is good for beginner crafters, or for a sweet gift for someone. All you’ll need is a few sheets of paper, scissors, and crayons or markers. You could also add magazine cut-outs to practice pre-schooler scissor skills.

Cotton Swab Blow Darts

Don’t be alarmed by the name! This game is as safe as it gets. For this one, you’ll only need some cotton swabs, bowls or small bins (even old yogurt containers would work!), number stickers or tape, and some drinking straws. You’ll foster some healthy competition with everyone in the family with this lively game. Full instructions at thatswhatchesaid.net.

Sticky Spider Web 

Painter’s tape, light, throw-able objects, and a doorway is all you need for this active game. Have fun looking for things around the house that will stick in the web, like balled up newspaper, balloons, small toys, etc, or make it a competition by adding points or a timer.

Masking Tape Race Track

A no-brainer if you’ve got a tub full of toy cars or trains. Make it colourful and fancy with washi tape like the one above, but regular old painter’s tape works well too (and is just as fun on carpet and furniture!). You can keep it contained in the kids’ room, or take it all over the house for an epic race. You can even add a souped-up garage or train station, like this one:

Minute to Win It

If you’ve got a house full of kids, Minute to Win It games are a surefire hit. Bring the popular game show into your living room with rip-roaring races like “Junk in the Trunk,” “Cookie Face,” or “Pong Tac Toe.” The entire family, neighbours, cousins and the mail carrier are all going to want to join in this one. More ideas for MTWI games at happinessishomemade.net.

Sewing Station

This indoor activity is perfect for 4-6 year olds to practice fine motor skills. You will need to pick up a few supplies, but it’s a creative and colourful project that your pre-schooler can be proud of. Full instructions at kleas.typepad.com.

 

I’m Bored Jar 

If you’ve reached your creativity limit, an I’m Bored Jar will be your best friend. Simply put, it’s a container filled with things for kids to do. Some people fill it with fun stuff, others mix in chores kids can help with around the house. You can get creative with the design using tokens, popsicle sticks or laminated cards, if that’s your cup of tea, or you can just write the activities on slips of paper and put them in a jar. Every time you hear a small person in your house utter the phrase “Mooooooom/Daaaaaad, I’m BOOOORED!”, you can bring them the jar and let it do its work. More ideas for jar design and activities at wellnessmama.com.
