A great way to celebrate the Pink Moon is to go on a “pink” scavenger hunt and see how many bits of pink you can find creeping out after the winter. You may find some pink flowers, but pink is also in other unexpected places like leaves, sticks, and even insects! How many types of pink things can you find?
Pink Moon Scavenger Hunt
There are no checklists for this hunt, just look for things that are pink! They can be natural things like petals and leaves or anything else that’s pink and catches your eye. You can take photos to keep track or physically collect some items. (Take care with natural items, plants are just starting over for the year so it’s best to stick with things that have fallen on the ground.)
Once you have finished your hunt make some Pink Moon ephemeral art. Ephemeral art is artwork that isn’t meant to last like a painting or sculpture. Because this is made of natural materials it will blow away and/or decompose. If you want to save your art, make sure you take a picture!
Arrange pink petals and leaves in a circular shape to look like a moon! If you weren’t able to collect any actual petals, you could also collage the photos you took (or ones you find in an old magazine) for a similar more permanent effect.
