When was the last time you took a picnic? I know for our family it has been a while since we packed up a wicker basket and a blanket and hit the grass. Really you have no excuse and now that Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time to take get outside and advantage of the sunshine! Sometimes packing for kids can be tricky so we thought we would share some fun and different snacks.

Kid Friendly Picnic Basket Essentials for A Picnic With Kids 

• Insulated Picnic Basket:  The weather is getting warmer, don’t get to your location and find all your food spoiled. Consider an insulated picnic basket instead of the traditional wicker one. Although the wicker picnic baskets are good to hold nonperishable foods and supplies. 
• Picnic Blanket:  Be sure to bring along a thick blanket that you can just roll up easily. Many picnic blankets have a water resistant side and a plush side. 
• Flavored Water: Stay hydrated! Fun for kids and smart for parents, AquaBall’s naturally flavored water is the only zero-sugar, zero-calorie, zero-preservative children’s beverage around. Available in four flavors, Berry Frost, Fruit Punch, Grape, and Strawberry Lemonade, and features fan favorite characters from Disney’s Frozen, Disney Princesses, Marvel’s Avengers, and Disney Classic Characters, the bottle alone will bring a smile to any kid’s face.
