If you have small children at home or if you babysit frequently, chances are that you hear “I’m bored” quite often.  It is easy to find something to do outside when the weather is appropriate, but what do you do when it is not?  You go on a picnic…in the kitchen of course!

Let the children help you in the picnic preparation.  Make sandwiches and wrap them in baggies or plastic wrap.  Package chips or carrot sticks in individual packages and either place all food items in a basket or individual paper lunch sacks.  The picnic lunch is not complete without a juice box for each person.

Set the table with a picnic table cloth and disposable plates, cups, napkins and silverware and picnic away!  Have the meal completely disposable and everything needed for the meal should be right there in the picnic basket or in the lunch sacks.  The idea is not to get up and conveniently get things out of the refrigerator.

If your kitchen table or chairs are big enough, throw sheets on top of them to create a tent for “camping”.  The “rainy day blues” will soon be forgotten!
