We have been on the quite the number of picnics already this spring. Over the past month, I’ve taken the kids on 5 picnics so far! They are so fun, and the kids really love them too. And I love that we get out of the house and get outdoors, and the kids don’t make a huge mess at home. Win win! = ) Keep reading to see why you should plan a picnic with your kids this spring.
Reasons to Have a Picnic With Your Kids this Spring
1.) It is a great way to spend quality time together with no disruptions. The relaxed environment is a great place to talk with your kids when they normally won’t.
2.) It is a great way for your kids to bond with each other too.
3.) Getting outside is great for your mental health, and it also good for your physical health when you’re active outdoors. It’s a great de-stresser and mood booster.
4.) Eating outdoors is so much more fun than eating indoors! It definitely makes mealtime more exciting. A change of atmosphere is a good way to encourage your kids to try new foods too. And it’s a lot less expensive than going out to eat, but you still get out of the house!
5.) It’s a great time to explore nature together. It can be a great confidence booster by letting your kids pick the games and activities you play at the picnic. The kids can even plan out a scavenger hunt to all go on.
I think having a picnic with your kids really encourages quality time together and creativity. It is so good for you in so many ways! It’s not just about eating together. Use it as a moment for so much more! When is the last time you had a picnic with the kids? What are your favorite things to do or pack for your picnic?
