After guests enjoy their picnic lunch, it’s time for some field games! The strawberry bean bag toss is sure to be the kid’s favorite game of the day, with challenges ranging from ‘toss with your eyes closed’ to ‘toss standing on one leg.’ You can also have sack races, play freeze tag, or enjoy a game of red light, green light!

Love the bean bag toss and instructions on how to make my own! Would love to know where to get a similar bucket/pail as the one pictured!
I love strawberries. Forget the kids. I need to make the beanbag idea into a pillow for myself.
