It’s easy to have a budget vacation in the summer with children! And it’s not even necessary to travel to the sea. I will tell you how to quickly and easily prepare for a picnic at minimal cost.
To organize a fun picnic, it is not necessary to go to the forest or park. Simply find a suitable place in the yard. And then my husband and I managed in only three stages.
Family fees
Before you go on a picnic, you need to prepare everything you need - every housewife is aware of this. And nothing supernatural is needed. Everything can be found in absolutely any home.
Stock up:
- Insect spray;
- Sunscreen;
- With a blanket or blanket, it’s also nice to take one bath towel with you separately for the baby’s games;
- A basket of food;
- Toys for a child.
Do not forget sunglasses and hats for the whole family. If there are none, then you can do with ordinary towels.
Try to dress the child as comfortable as possible!
Special attention should be paid to the last two points. Here are some simple guidelines for taking a picnic out of your meal:
- Vegetables and fruits washed in advance;
- Simple snacks (cheese slices, bread, corn flakes);
- Sandwiches without sauce;
- Water, but not juices;
- Cups and napkins.
It is best to cook / cut food in advance and pack it in containers or special sealed bags.
You should not take perishable products, especially if you do not have a cooler bag. In the sun, any product deteriorates many times faster, be careful.
Give preference to those snacks that do not require the use of forks and knives.
We are on the street, what's next?
Naturally, first you need to organize a place to relax: spread a bedspread, place containers with food, water and toys. Take care not only of entertainment for the child, but also of yours with your husband.
It’s best to leave all your gadgets at home, and bring along some book or board game.
No need to forcibly try to feed the household as soon as you left. Let the appetite be wheeled. Fresh air will help.
Apply a sunscreen to the child, do not forget about the spray and panama. Then it’s the little thing - you need to relax and take a deep breath.
A picnic is a vacation and entertainment not only for the baby, but also for you and your husband!
When everyone has admired nature enough, and the child has run up - you can offer joint games.
Fun games for the whole family
Once on a picnic, you can not only entertain the child, but also all households. Joint games are a great solution.
What should everyone play together?
- Board games, such as The Wizard of the Emerald City;
- The game "Throw a ring." To do this, pegs are stuck into the ground and the participants take turns trying to throw more plastic rings on them;
- Bubble;
- "Snake" - rolling the ball to each other on the ground;
- "Name and show." Participants take turns calling some action or animal, while others must show. For example, the task is to show a heron. Everyone stands on one foot.
If you want to spend time together, and to distract the baby with something, then you can offer him to collect flowers and leaves for the home herbarium.
Games for exploring the world are also good. For example, searching for insects, looking at and studying flowers and birds.
Do not forget about family pictures!
Advantages of a summer picnic in the yard:
- Minimum costs;
- Outdoor recreation;
- Activity classes;
- Learning environment by children;
- Good sleep after a picnic.
And what other benefits of such family outings can you find? The most important thing for me is strengthening relationships and having fun!
