April 23 is National Picnic Day.
According to Miriam-Webster, picnic is defined as an excursion or outing with food usually provided by members of the group
and eaten in the open OR a pleasant or amusingly carefree experience.
Here are some ways to celebrate national picnic day in your program:
- Search the internet for children's books about picnics, visit the local library to borrow some and read, read, read!
- Put on sunscreen, pack a blanket and a cooler of food and drinks and take lunch or snack outside.
- Invite the children's family members or favorite stuffed animal to join you for your picnic.
- If the weather isn't cooperating- throw a blanket on the floor, play some outdoor sounds in the background,
and enjoy your meal or snack.
Happy picnicking!
