Thing of the Week - Yummy Picnic

As part of the launch of 50 Things in Southwark, we are focusing on 1 of the 50 activities in this amazing app. Next is ‘Yummy Picnic’.

Why not spend the afternoon having a picnic in the park? You could even invite some friends along.

A picnic is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your child and it can cost as little or as much as you like.

As we enter the winter months, if it’s too wet and cold for an outdoor picnic have an indoor one! Grab some blankets and cushions to put on the floor in the living room and some Teddies to join you.

Involving your child with the preparation can offer new learning opportunities, you could write a menu together and decide what you need to buy, and your child could help with some food preparation such as washing fruit and veg or weighing ingredients.

For more information on this activity including how to do it, the benefits, top tips and resources, download the free 50 Things app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
