Outdoors Party: This is a great idea for your little wilderness explorers! The first thing you will need to consider is the location. Will you have this party in your backyard or will you go your nearest hiking trail? Don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray! Next, you will need to decide what games and activities you will do at the party. A scavenger hunt is a great way to have all children participate and have fun! Another fun idea would be to buy bug catchers for the explorers to catch a few critters along the way.
