Backyard Picnic Tips
We love to bring the indoors outside. In doing so, you create such a cozy and comfortable setup.
Ideas include:
- Layer Turkish towels or tablecloths and blankets on the grass for a casual boho inspired look.
- Throw some pillows on the blankets for extra coziness.
- Set a wood crate down to create a short tabletop or use a mini table.
- Keep it simple with a veggie tray, chips & dips, fruit, hotdogs and hamburgers.
Backyard games and fun
- Bocce Ball is a family favorite. We even made t-shirts one year for a family tournament!
- Croquet reminds me of our childhood. We had so many summer family croquet tournaments!
- Cornhole is a game you can’t go wrong with.
- Family Obstacle Course (use hula hoops, pool noodles and more to set up asimple course)
- Human Ring Toss is hilarious! Use pool tubes as the rings and toss over the kids.
- Always great to keep paint and paintbrushes on hand. Kids love to paint outside – rocks, sticks and leaves
