Julie Brown writes, “One great children’s picnic game idea (for those under 10) is to let them catch butterflies. We just bring along a few nets when we take our kids out on a summer picnic. Our daughters just love it! My son usually catches bugs instead of butterfiles but he enjoys it too. It might not technically be a children’s picnic game idea but it’s certainly something fun for kids to do on a summer picnic.”
