Picnics

 


Is there anything more delightful than a picnic on a sunny day? Whether it’s a big family gathering in the park, a simple sandwich on the beach, or a teddy bears’ tea party in the back garden, picnics are a wonderful way for children to enjoy the great outdoors, eat in the fresh air, and make special memories.

We’ve packed this page with picnic-themed fun – from colouring pages to puzzles, printables, and imaginative play. Whether you’re planning a real picnic or just enjoying some picnic play indoors, you’ll find something here to inspire the kids and keep them busy!

Did you know that 18th June is International Picnic Day? There’s no better excuse to pack up some tasty treats, grab a blanket, and head outdoors for a family picnic! Whether you choose the local park, your own back garden, or even an indoor picnic if the weather doesn't co-operate, it’s a lovely way to spend quality time together. Get the kids involved by letting them help prepare the food, pack the basket, or create picnic-themed games and decorations. Don’t forget to bring a book, a ball, or a few Activity Village printables from the selection below to enjoy in the sunshine!
