The Bug and Flower Garden theme is great
for birthdays celebrating twins, siblings or any child who likes
nature.
Included in the Bug and Flower birthday party ideas is a fun
Nature Scavenger Hunt! The Nature Scavenger Hunt is
a fun way for kids of all ages to collect different nature items
from the garden, park or backyard and combine it with a fun
party game.
The list is free to print out with lots of fun items to find!
Combine the two interests of bugs
and flowers and have a Nature Scavenger Hunt.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
The Nature Scavenger Hunt can be used at a park, lake, pond or backyard.
Each guest receives a nature scavenger hunt list and collection items
(see below).They then are sent off in pairs or groups with
their list. Have a prize for the winning team who finds the most
items. Remove any potential hazards such as fire ants and
poisonous plants before the children arrive. Give each hunter a
gallon size plastic baggie, bucket and spoon to collect their items.

Bug and Flower Birthday Invitation Ideas
Make fun flower garden / bug themed
birthday
invitations for your party using blank cards and scrapbooking
stickers/cutouts.
Bug and Flower Party Decorations
Cover tables with green tablecloths and set out plastic or real flowers in vases. Place real and artificial flowers throughout the room. Cut large petals that look like flowers from paper or butcher paper and tape together on the walls so they look like flowers. Make a super size flower garden.
Tie ribbon to helium balloons. Attach plastic flying insects and bugs to the other end of the ribbon. Don't tie the balloons down and have them rest on the ceiling so the bugs look like they are flying.
Pin the bug on the flower
Played just like pin the tail on the donkey only use a large
poster of a flower and bug stickers. Buy or draw a flower on a
poster board. Make sure the flower has a stem and leaves and
doesn't take up more then 10% of the poster. Mark a spot on the
large flower using a sticker or marker in case more then one player gets
their bug on the flower - the player closest to this mark wins.
Attach the poster to a wall. Give each party guest a bug sticker
that has a a number written on it. If you can't find stickers then
you can make ladybugs and beetles out of colorful paper.
Party guests form a single line about 10 feet from the poster. Blindfold the first player in line and spin them around (skip this step for younger children) three times. Point them in the direction of the poster and have them try and get their bug on the flower. The guest who's sticker is closest to the flower (or mark on the flower) wins a prize.
