This roundup will help you organize a stress-free, kid-friendly picnic, whether you’re planning an al fresco feast during National Picnic Month (July) or any other month this summer.
Best Picnic Ideas for Kids
Ideally, your picnic will feature a number of dishes that are both adult- and kid-friendly. This list of best picnic food ideas for kids includes some adorable treats from the blogosphere: Cheese Mice on Crackers, Pizza Flavored Piggy Buns, Fruit Caterpillars, even Olive Penguins. Then there’s Bear Cookies, Pizza Skewers, Bacon Cheeseburger Kebabs and Tortilla Pinwheel Lollipops. I don’t know about your kids, but mine would show up just for the Kitty Cat Bread Buns alone. And to round out the list are a number of flavorful dishes—from pasta salads to fresh fruit—that may not have the same cute factor as the Pinterest-perfect options, but they are excellent picnic food ideas so everyone can sample summer treats they love. Pack a bag full of these picnic-friendly sandwiches (veggie options available too) and all you’ll have left to do is find a perfect spot to enjoy them in!
