July is National Picnic Month

Summer is the perfect time to plan outdoor activities and events. Consider celebrating National Picnic Month with the children and families in your program. Here are a few fun ideas to incorporate learning into your picnic!

Identify animals and insects in nature. While sitting outside, point out different insects and other creatures and ask the children if they can identify them. Then ask children to find other creatures. Talk about how each creature finds their own food and where they live.

Invite families to share in an evening picnic with the whole program. Bringing families together is a great way to build community within your program. Families have the opportunity to meet other families and watch their children interact with their friends
