Host A Scavenger Hunt
What better way is there to celebrate the outdoors during the summer than by hosting a scavenger hunt for the children? Fill small bags with candy such as chocolates and jelly beans before hiding them. Then, encourage your grandchildren to search the area to find the hidden goodies. You can also hide clues to a hidden location and kids can work together to find the place.
Make Baskets Filled With Treats
Allow your grandkids to make their own baskets with treats. Any kid will love that! Provide the grandkids with tissue paper, chocolate, and jelly beans to fill up their baskets.
Host A Chocolate Bunny Making Class
Host a chocolate bunny making class and teach the kids how to make their own chocolate bunnies using bunny molds and melted chocolate. After you fill the molds with chocolate, place them in the fridge and wait for the chocolate to harden. Place candy on a side of the mold and make use of melted chocolate to seal the other side to create the bunnies.

Set Up A Backyard Obstacle Course
