Create an indoor picnic

Children will love preparing for an indoor picnic – choosing the perfect spot to spread the blanket as well as the yummy picnic foods is just as much fun as the picnic itself.

What you need:

• Food such as sandwiches, chips, biscuits, drinks
• Blanket
• Books 

Number of players:

Activity:

Prepare some light food that is easy to eat such as sandwiches, biscuits, cookies and a drink.

Spread out a blanket on the floor.

Sit down on it and enjoy your lunch.

Notes:

• Indoor picnics are the perfect setting for some natural imaginative play – kids can get out the fancy dress box and dress up for their picnic, perhaps as princesses, fairies, pirates or animals.
• If you're dressing up, maybe think about creating picnic food to match the theme.
• Half the fun of having an indoor picnic is making the food. Kids will love to plan the menu, make and pack the food. Perhaps try and find a small basket where you can store the food, cutlery, plates and cups ready for the perfect picnic.
