The Bug Hunt

Plastic bugs scattered about the garden are a playful version of a traditional Easter egg hunt. Send the little ones out with bug boxes (perfect party favors!) to capture the critters. After they've gathered them, see if they can identify the insects.

Tip: Buy plastic bugs in bulk from Oriental Trading Company.
