Outdoor Entertainment
Organize activities to keep kids entertained between bites. Go on a nature scavenger hunt, then use leaves, pinecones, or twigs to play a game of tic-tac-toe on your picnic blanket (just pack a bit of tape or ribbon to make the board). Devise an obstacle course race around trees or playground structures. First one back to the blanket wins! Your little ones will be sure to work up an appetite.
