Suggested Family Activity 🧺 Picnic

Published by Library Staff on

June is a great month to go on a picnic with your friends and family.  You can pack a traditional picnic in a wicker basket or just grab some snacks and sandwiches and head outside with a blanket to enjoy your food.  Take time to sit and enjoy nature, whether you stay at home in your backyard or go to a nearby park.  Make sure to spend at least part of the day barefoot to enjoy the tickly sensation of walking on the grass.  You can even plan to make a whole day of it and take pillows for relaxing while you read a book.  You could also grab some coloring books and crayons or other art supplies, such as pencils, paper, and paints to try your hand at drawing and painting the natural world around you.  Try to stay out all day so you can catch the sunset and have fun watching (and catching) fireflies.  Or you can wait to start your picnic time outdoors after adults are home from work.  Picnicking later in the evening by taking your supper outside to enjoy is a fun activity to try out anytime with your family.
