I'm going on a bug hunt.....

I love Target's dollar spot!  Today after running some errands, I allowed the girls to pick out two butterfly nets and a package of plastic bugs.  It doesn't sound like much, but it makes for hours of fun around here.  Last year, we attended a birthday party that had a cute bug theme.  The mother hid plastic bugs around outside, provided cute little bug catcher box thingys and sent the kids on a scavenger hunt. Ever since then, my girls have occasionally set up their own such scavenger hunts in our house or around the backyard.  The addition of the nets was such a hit....and they'll get to try them out on real butterflies soon.
