10 May Fun And Simple Picnic Foods For Kids

What kid doesn’t love a picnic, right? For Clark’s birthday yesterday, my kids wanted a picnic – but with bugs. Everything is about bugs right now. So, I made them this cute little lunch scene with snails and toadstools and even included a couple of plastic bugs. It doesn’t take much to make these kids happy! Just some fun and simple picnic foods!

First of all, apparently Cheetos are essential to birthdays.  So they are included, of course. The little toadstools are made from grape tomatoes (cherry tomatoes may be better but weren’t available) cut in half with their insides scooped out. Then cut some mozzarella sticks into 1.5″ pieces and insert them into the with tomatoes. For a couple of kids who don’t love cheese or tomatoes, Clark and Luci ate these little toadstools right up without a word.

The little snails were super fun and simple to make.  I just spread a tortilla with a little mayo. Then put on a slice of deli meat and a slice of cheese.  I rolled it up and cut it into 1.5″ pieces. The snail heads were made from pickles, inserted into the opening of the roll up with two carrot slices for antennae.  The kids loved it.
