Description: One way to get your kids to sit down to a meal is to change it up by having a picnic inside the house. Lay a blanket or a towel on the kitchen floor and set out the snacks or meal.
Age: any
Purpose:
Varying routine
Motivating them to eat
Prep time: same as regular snack time
What you’ll need: a blanket or towel (maybe something more colourful than my picture) and some snacks
Fun Factor: The kids love to have picnics inside the house, where they don’t feel like their constrained to the dinner table (they’re not actually restrained, they just feel that way). They will usually immediately come to the picnic without the usual transition warnings. Just don't overdo this activity or it my loose its effectiveness.
