It's International Picnic Day!

Summertime is made for picnics! It doesn't matter if they take place in the backyard, at a local park or at the beach.
Pack a picnic basket, bring some sunscreen, lots of water and plan some easy picnic games!

Need some ideas? We've got you covered!

Easy Volleyball
Tie a length of string or yarn between two trees. Let the kids try to hit balloons or foam balls back and forth.

Frisbee Throw
Line all the kids up behind a line. Let them each take a turn throwing the frisbee as far as they can. Mark the spots with craft sticks with their names on them. Who threw the farthest?

Bucket Races
Place a bucket with water on one end and an empty bucket on the other. Make sure each team starts with the same amount of water. Have the kids dip a cup in the bucket of water and run to put it in the empty bucket. Then run back and give it to their next teammate. The team who can fill the empty bucket with the most water wins.

Face Painting
This homemade face paint comes off with soap and water!
For each color you will need:

  • 1 teaspoon starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cold cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon water
  • food coloring
Stir together the corn starch and cold cream until well blended. Add the water and mix well. Add food coloring one drop at a time until you have the color you want. Use small paintbrushes to apply.
*Leftovers can be stored in small containers
