Mix It Up With Jenny - Family Picnic Fun

(Family Features) - The sun is out, spring breezes are blowing - it's time for a family picnic!

If you're ready to enjoy an afternoon in the great outdoors, pack up a basket or cooler and head out to a nearby park or arboretum. The backyard makes a great spot, too.

Be sure to allow time for exploring and playing. In addition to playing things like tag and Frisbee, try some of these fun activities:

*Scavenger hunt - make a list of things to find, like a bird feather, a pine cone and an acorn.

*I Spy - a great way to help kids learn to observe nature.

*Art al Fresco - use paper plates as canvases. Let the kids draw things they see or create collages out of natural objects.

No picnic would be complete without a fun - and easy - dessert. These bar cookies are a tasty way to wrap up a day of family fun. You can find more picnic-ready treat recipes at TollHouse.com
