June 13th is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua and we talk about him a lot in our house (usually to ask his help with finding things)! St. Anthony is the patron saint for lost things so what better way to get out and have fun than with a little St. Anthony Treasure Hunt Activity! Read on to learn more!
St. Anthony Treasure Hunt Activity
Our family has grown in our faith so much in the last few years and we are working towards living more liturgically. The Catholic Church is so full of amazing feasts and they give us the perfect excuse to have fun and celebrate!
We printed our St. Anthony Treasure Hunt Activity printable and set out this morning on the hunt! We asked St. Anthony to help us find them and we had so much fun that I wanted to share this fun St. Anthony Treasure Hunt activity with you!

St. Anthony Pray for Us
St. Anthony of Padua is not only a remarkable saint, a man dedicated completely to the Lord, but he is also a Doctor of the Church! He was from a wealthy family but gave that all up to follow Christ! Over the course of his life he followed God’s plan for him and because of this he was canonized a saint shortly after he died. Having lost himself completely in his journey to Christ, he naturally became the patron saint of lost things. St. Anthony pray for us!

Free Treasure Hunt Activity Printable
This fun and simple treasure hunt activity printable can be used with any aged kiddos! My kids all had fun searching and their ages range from 13 to 2. We headed towards church first because we knew finding the status their would be easy but living in a small, Christian community we found Mama Mary statues at every turn!

The kids brought along a Crayon to mark off the sheet as we found the items. We laughed and giggled along the way and found our way back home with our list checked off!
The Treasure
Once home, we all treated ourselves to popsicles because we had found all of our treasure! (Thank you St. Anthony!) But as a mom, I felt the true treasure was spending that time with my children and teaching them about their faith. The domestic church means so much to me and I think having these fun moments will be in their memories for years to come!
