Nursery World - Enabling Environments: Resources

With the weather improving and National Picnic Week on 13-21 June,
there are plenty of excuses to enjoy a spot of outdoor dining. We pick
some resources for fun and hassle-free excursions

Perfect recipe?

For ideas on perking up your picnic food, take a look at:

Good Food: 101 Picnics & Packed Lunches - this BBC recipe book promises hassle-free and tasty dishes that travel well. Each recipe has been triple tested and comes with a nutritional breakdown.

The Picnic Cookbook by Annie Bell - along with a wide range of recipes, from the simple to complex, are tips and checklists for planning the perfect picnic, right down to rubbish bags and the possibility of rain.

All packed up

If you usually walk to your picnic spots, then consider investing in a picnic backpack. Not only will it leave you hands-free to help you escort the children but your drink will arrive chilled and your sandwiches will avoid a squashing.
