You could do the photo version where the kids have to take pics of themselves with the 'treasure' and then you'll have extra pics of the event, too. Maybe have the big kids man the cameras... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1708066 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:25:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 1708066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>plastic containers/jars for *collecting* things like sticks, rocks, and bugs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1708042 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:10:56 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1708042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: there should be corn hole set up!</p> <p>@MamaG: ohhh good call.

I bet some of the adults like these more than the kids!</p> <p>@JoyfulKiwi: my parents have balls &amp; jump ropes. Good call! I forgot they had that at their house. They do have lots of toys for Chloe! I was worried about quantity though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1707463 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:03:57 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1707463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Squirt bottles. Balls (to kick/toss around). Is there any sand or dirt? Little ones might like digging with shovels &amp; pails. I think you won't need too many things - kids have a way of creating their own fun. </p> <p>Oh! Maybe jump ropes? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1707458 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:01:01 +0000 Smurfette 1707458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water balloons<br /> Water guns </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1707456 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:00:38 +0000 MamaG 1707456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water balloons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-activities-at-a-picnic#post-1707452 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:59:34 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1707452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are hosting a family reunion on the 4th of July. There will be 80 adults and 17 children. The kids are mostly 2-5 and 7-13.</p> <p>One of my uncles is bringing a huge blow up pool wih water slide. </p> <p>My mom bought bubbles for the kids and already has chalk at her house. </p> <p>What else would you take/buy? I suggested Chloe's water table but my mom nixed it. </p>
