Let these cute picnic crafts for kids inspire you to pack a meal and go to a beautiful spot with your loved ones! Don’t forget to mind the ants!

Remember how we were all quarantined during the early days of the pandemic and everything and every place was closed down? While initially it was a different kind of experience, people soon started to get frustrated, especially those with kids – ask me how I know!

This then led to parents getting creative with engaging their kids. Many parents I know created a classroom-like setup in a part of the home, so kids would get more of the ‘back to school‘ feeling while attending virtual lessons. I also know some parents who created obstacle courses with whatever they had at home so the kids could move about.

Then there are those who recreated the ultimate outdoor family experience at home – a picnic! Yes, we laid out sheets, packed lunches only to carry them from the kitchen to the living room and sat down to enjoy a family meal. The only thing missing were probably the ants!

Well those days are gone now and hopefully we are now enjoying proper picnics in nice weather outside. With National Picnic Month coming up in July and 10th July being Teddy Bear Picnic Day, we think it’s a good time to plan a fun picnic with our extended family and friends. While you’re at it, have some extra fun on the side with these cute and easy picnic crafts for kids!
