What foods can I make for a picnic with my child and friends?!


Question: What foods can I make for a picnic with my child and friends!?
Answers:
Kids love finger foods! Simple things that they can eat quickly with no utensils required!.

Consider roll-up type sandwiches - spread a little cream cheese (or mayo or BBQ sauce) over a pita, add your child's favourite lunch meat and roll it up!. Cut into 1-inch rolls and enjoy!.

Fruit kabobs are also fun for kids - simply add pieces of fruit to a skewer stick, perhaps adding a few marshmallows!. Or better yet, get them involved by letting them create their own (they'll be more likely to eat what they have created themselves, choosing fruit they like)!.
