Organise a family picnic and delight your kids! Whether you’re having a picnic on the beach, in the mountains, at a park or on a school trip, here’s our advice and tips on how to prepare so you don’t forget anything!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you need for a picnic? Our tips <\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tip no. 1: think about equipment<\/em>  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A picnic doesn’t require much equipment, so we’ve listed a few essentials for you: 
– A large tablecloth or blanket (that you don’t mind getting dirty)   
– Crockery (plates, cutlery, glasses or bottles: choose washable and reusable crockery or opt for recyclable disposable items)   
– Napkins (paper or cloth)  
– A cooler to keep your food fresh  
– A bin bag  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip no. 2: make simple and effective food<\/em>  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our secret to a successful picnic is to rely on recipes that can be eaten cold… Here are a few examples:   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Homemade quiche, pie or pizza  
– Rice, pasta or tabbouleh salad   
– Wraps, club sandwich  
– Melon, small vegetables for dipping (cucumber, tomato, carrot, cauliflower…)  
– Salty snacks, crisps   
– Fruit, yoghurt and compote to drink or cake like a banana bread for example that’s easy to transport and eat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can adapt your ideas to suit your children’s tastes – the main thing is to please them, and that includes the choice of food!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to transporting all your food, use tupperware: it’s airtight and easy to store in your cooler. You can also think ahead by preparing individual lunchboxes<\/a> for your little ones, so they can find everything they need straight away. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip no. 3: stay hydrated! <\/em>  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget your drinks. You can pack a few soft drinks or, for example, make home-made lemonade. Staying hydrated is very important, especially in hot weather, so take several bottles of water for the whole family. For the fridge, you can opt for individual bottles<\/a>, both for adults<\/a> and for children.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip no. 4: think about entertainment<\/em>  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organising a picnic <\/strong>also means thinking about entertainment. Take advantage of this family time to play board games, card games and so on. Put on some music, do a music quiz, dance. This is the time to forget your daily routine, work or school. In short, have fun!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to take on a school picnic? <\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The school picnic is an ideal opportunity for pupils to enjoy a delicious meal outdoors with their classmates.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a school picnic<\/strong>, choose foods that are easy to prepare and transport. Here are some ideas of what you can take: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sandwiches: Prepare a variety of sandwiches with different fillings, such as ham, cheese, turkey, chicken, fresh vegetables and spreads like peanut butter or cream cheese.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Salads: Opt for easy-to-eat salads such as pasta salad, rice salad, vegetable salad or fruit salad. Make sure you put them in tightly closed containers to avoid leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fresh fruit: Take along fruit that’s easy to eat and share, such as grapes, melon slices, apples or oranges. Avoid fruit that can spoil easily, such as bananas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Crunchy vegetables: Cut up vegetable sticks, such as carrots, celery and cucumbers, and dip them in a sauce or dip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Healthy snacks: Include nutritious snacks such as cheese sticks, crackers, nuts, cereal bars or yoghurt drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Drinks: Bring soft drinks, such as bottled water, fruit juice or fruit drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Desserts: End your picnic on a sweet note with biscuits, muffins, granola bars or dried fruit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to pack food in airtight containers to keep it fresh and avoid spills. Don’t forget to bring plates, glasses, cutlery and paper napkins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
