Kids Club

Theme: Picnic 

Grab a blanket and have a picnic in your living room! You can talk about different foods that may be easier to bring on the go and some that probably should be left for the dinner table. You can also talk about things you’d like to do on a picnic, such as playing a sport or going for a walk! Use your imagination!
