You will need:
- one cherry
tomato/strawberry basket for each child
- two pipe cleaners
for each child
- assorted lengths
of yarn and ribbon
- one cookie
or cracker per child
- one orange
or apple per child
- one paper
napkin per child
What to do:
- pass out baskets,
yarn and ribbon and tell children they are going to make their own
picnic baskets
- encourage
children to weave the yarn and ribbon in and out of their picnic baskets
to make them look fancy
- pass out pipe
cleaners and encourage children to twist them onto each side of their
baskets to form handles (you may need to help younger children
with the securing of the pipe cleaners)
- place cookies,
fruit, and napkins in the middle of the table
- encourage
children to take one of each item and pack their own baskets
- clean up
- let the children
carry their baskets outside to eat their snack!
