If you’re looking to do something with your child now that school is winding down a backyard picnic can be a lot of fun. Here are a few ideas for your backyard picnic:
- You don’t have to be fancy - basically any food can be used for a picnic. Remember, it’s not how special the food is, it’s about spending special time with mom and dad. Crackers and cheese or a sandwich will do just fine.
- Or, you can be fancy – if you are predetermined to fancy-ness, pair your picnic with a special trip to the market. Pick some foods that your child has never tried. You might just get them to try new foods, possibly even vegetables, if a picnic is involved.
- Get your child involved – have your child help prepare the food. If they make it, they just might eat it. This could be another good opportunity to get picky eaters to try new things.
- Break out the games – after the picnic spend time in the backyard playing a game. Soccer, catch, hang out in the swing set with your child, these are all good ways to slow life down and bond with your child in their environment.
Time goes by so quick, take some time out for a picnic with your little one.
