What is more disappointing then waiting for them to show up? When they show up at the bottom of the screen and your kids get stuck trying to get them! When the pebbles get caught at the bottom like that, just drop the child a little bit ABOVE it. They don't have to be exactly on it to be able to pick it up. Sharon

I accidently got my last beetle in my first game. I was training a doctor and one of my kids was sniffing the blue flower I needed to for the doctor to examine. To move the kid out of the way, I picked her up & just dropped her. To my surprise, the girl knelt down and started to pick something up. I had "accidently" dropped her on the purple w/ green dots beetle, which I'd been looking for for days. I never even saw the beetle! I was lucky.
I've now started a new game and am waiting for the uncommon all blue beetle to finish the game.

I feel your pain. My village is now 200 years old and I finally found that last tiny black and purple beetle. I think it is going to be another 200 years before I find that last pebble.

Another horror story while trying to finish the collections...
I was searching for my last beetle (the rare all the way to the right) for over 3 months when on my regular check ups of my villages one day, I finally found it!!! The game had just loaded and I immediately went to the beetle location and within a matter of seconds it just popped up. I paused the game so I could find the little buggers to pick them up faster so they're not walking away or hiding somewhere... I frantically search the whole island, once, twice, thrice... and after the 3rd check, just like Homer Simpson, I let out a loud and anger-filled, "DOH!!!"
I HAD NO MORE KIDS TO PICK UP THE DANG LAST PIECE!

Oh, that's sad! When I just need a few collectibles, if my village doesn't have any kids, I'll spend my time in other villagers (until a kid is weaned) just so that I'm not tormented by seeing a needed collectible.
BTW, here's an easy trick to find kids (or even to see if you have any kids):
Assuming that you keep your details screen sorted on "age", if you double click a totem (any totem), and then hit "d" or the Details button, the youngest villager in your village will be displayed. Return to the village screen and his/her action item will give you a hint as to where he/she is hiding.
If you don't yet have totems, this works almost as well: use the details screen to scroll through your village (up or down) until you see a kid. (If you don't have totems, then there are often less villagers to scroll through.)
I'm working on a guide for all of the kid actions. To use as an index to know which area of the village to find them.

Oh yeah, I do that trick to find the kids... but for that one moment I was caught off guard and rattled when I saw that last one that I panicked and started this weird screen/island scrolling in a Z-formation trying to look for one.
Hehe, man I had all the patience in the world to stick with that village for months just tyring to get one piece and when it does show, I lose it all and go crazy and panic... go figure, hehe

I've found myself in a similar position a couple of times with "advanced" games. Normally I try to ensure that I have at least two kids at all times, but on these occasions I was returning to a game that had been left on its own for a while. In each case there were a few babes-in-arms, but no kids running around.
Even when I have several million tech points and plenty of food I still try to pick up collectibles and mushrooms, to keep my hand in as much as anything. It certainly felt strange having to ignore those that popped up, although thankfully none of the missing ones appeared.
