Picnic with Your Toddler
Have a toddler or preschooler? During National Picnic Month, take
your family’s meal outside and prepare a fun, nutritious spread!
• You don’t have to travel far to have a picnic! The backyard is a
great place to enjoy a meal outside. If you don’t have a backyard
or the weather is uncooperative, your basement or living room
will work.
• Add plenty of fruits and vegetables to your meal. Some toddler friendly choices are fresh berries, pieces of banana, quartered
grapes, cherry tomatoes and steamed baby carrots (no larger
than a half inch in size).
• Always follow proper food safety guidelines. Make sure your
picnic stays fresh by packing perishables in a cooler with ice.
Everyone should wash their hands before leaving the house and
carry plenty of antibacterial gel and wipes for a quick pre-picnic
cleanup.
