One of the best ways to enjoy the summer is to eat outdoors. You can go on a picnic with your family and friends. You can picnic at a park, a beach, a campground or by a lake.
What to bring on a picnic:
- a blanket
- a picnic table cover
- a picnic basket or tote bag
- paper plates, napkins, forks, spoons and knives
- paper towels
- a trash bag
- bug repellent
What food do you bring on a picnic?
It is best to bring food that will not spoil in warm weather. Keep food cool. Use containers to keep food safe and clean.
Here are some picnic foods:
- cured meats, cheese, olives, pickles and crackers
- fresh vegetables and fruit
- dried fruit and nuts
- sandwiches and wraps
- pasta salad
- popcorn and chips
- cookies, cupcakes and pie

Make your picnic fun!
Bring things to play with like balls, frisbees, kites and bubbles. Make a music playlist on your phone. Enjoy!
