Its picnic time again, and being the mom of two little girls I have to say that I am particularly happy to come home in the evenings, throw some fun food together and take the whole family out on a picnic. It’s fun for everyone, especially me, no dishes and big mess to clean up after everyone’s eaten!
What I love most about picnics is that you can do or rather eat almost anything outdoors, you can have a barbeque if you want, though that requires more planning, or just make the family sandwiches, a salad and take along some fruit, whatever you decide, just eating outdoors makes it all more tastier!

and if you are looking for some picnic themed children’s’ crafts you can find some on childfun.com – http://www.childfun.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=169
Don’t forget to involve the kids with the planning and even with the preperations, this will make the experience far more fun for them.
