Picnic Perfection
 www.fridayschildmontessori.com
It won’t be long until
 summer is here, and with
the warmer weather come
   more chances to get
   outdoors and relax.
Anywhere outside on a
 sunny day is good for a
picnic, whether it’s a park,
 the beach or even your
       back garden.
If you have a cricket player
   in your family, a picnic is
  the perfect activity so you
  can support your cricketer
   while keeping the rest of
the family entertained and
            happy.
Picnicking can be as
elaborate and sophisticated
or as relaxed and casual as
     you want it to be.
Picnic perfection
But no matter what style of
  picnic suits you and your
family, you’re going to need
  some basic equipment.
First of all comes what
you’re going to take the
         food in.
Picnic perfection
A wickerwork picnic basket
is traditional for picnicking
English style, but given the
 climate here on the Gold
Coast, an esky is usually a
      whole lot better.
Picnic perfection
Lukewarm cucumbers
  aren’t particularly
     appetising.
The next piece of
equipment is something to
sit on, which reduces your
   chance of putting your
 bottom down on an ants’
            nest.
Picnic perfection
These things to sit on could
 be cushions and a blanket
or folding chairs – whatever
     is easiest to carry.
A lot of picnic food can be
eaten without plates, if you
 plan properly, but it’s wise
to slip in a couple of plates
     to prepare food on,
  especially if your picnic
   involves anything that
 needs to be sliced or cut.
As children learn by
 watching (one of the key
 principles of Montessori
 learning), it’s best if you
don’t slice the tomatoes in
         your hand,
even if you can – this is
 something that you don’t
 really want them trying to
 do. Picnic plates come in
three types – plastic, paper
         and china.
If you prefer not to risk your
chinaware, then plastic and
paper are the other options.
Of the two, paper is better,
     as it is biodegradable,
 meaning that you can stick
it in a compost heap or rip it
  up to use as tinder with a
  charcoal barbecue, if you
            have one.
Paper plates are also good
additions to a make-and-do
craft box for small children:
 punch a couple of holes in
  the side, add string, cut
 eyeholes and decorate the
front and you have a mask.
If you have to get plastic,
    look for sturdier plastic
plates rather than the flimsy
 sort that cracks easily and
 can only get used once or
             twice.
Picnic perfection
Plastic plates also have
their uses for encouraging
children’s artwork, as they
  make great palettes for
      mixing colours.
However, if you want to stick to
 Montessori principles and not
    mix equipment, it’s best to
designate a special plastic plate
for use with the paint rather than
 getting out one of the plates set
         aside for picnics.
You will also need
somewhere to put the food
   as you dish it out.
In a lot of parks, you can
 find handy picnic tables,
  but if you’re finding your
own spot or going in your
garden, then you’ll need a
 blanket to spread out for
     the food to go on.
Alternatively, just keep the
 food in the esky and use
the closed lid as a table to
  prepare food on, if you
          need to.
