This is something I remember doing as a child that my kids have not done. One reason is due to the fact that they are in bed before the summer sun sets. For some that might seem early, but so is 6AM. That would be the time they wake up!
So one night I surprised them by saying we should go out back and see if we can catch any fireflies. They were excited and grabbed their jars. When they got outside they started looking for the flash of light.
A was super excited at each and every light. She quickly shouted out it's location and pointed. She had no desire to catch one however. Mommy had to do that.
B was more daring on the touching a bug part. She had a good amount in her jar before letting them go. We all lasted about 15 minutes and then came back in due to the other bugs that came out too.
