You don’t have to leave your house to enjoy a picnic with your kids. Why not load up a tray with picnic snacks and head outside into your own garden\u00a0and host a\u00a0Backyard Teddy Bear’s Picnic.<\/p>\n

\"Backyard<\/p>\n

Due to the unpredictable nature of the Irish weather (there’s a good reason we are known as the Emerald Isle!) when the sun\u00a0does make an appearance we drop everything and head outdoors. The fresh air always makes my kids hungry, so bringing a picnic is as essential as our sunscreen.<\/p>\n

Due to the unpredictable nature of Motherhood \u00a0(sickness, tiredness,\u00a0cranky kids\u00a0etc…) it’s not always possible to go out somewhere, but we don’t let that spoil our fun, we just pack up our picnic and take it out into our back garden.<\/p>\n

The added benefit of this is that when the weather does take a turn for the worse,\u00a0 we don’t have far to dash for cover.<\/p>\n

Planning your Backyard Teddy Bear’s Picnic<\/h2>\n

Whilst you are busy preparing the picnic snacks (more on that later), send your kids off to find their favourite teddies to bring along on the picnic. Get them to dig out some blankets and towels as well, if they can reach them.<\/p>\n

Then send them outside to find the perfect picnic spot whilst you load up the picnic snacks, plates and drinks into a tray to bring outdoors with you.<\/p>\n
