Activity Detail

Lay out a blanket and five things that you would take to a picnic -- for example, a basket, napkins, plates, bottle of water, food container. Sit with your child on the blanket and look at the items. Then tell your child to close their eyes and take one item away. Once they open their eyes see if he/she can tell which item was taken by the "squirrel at the picnic"! This game is fun for the whole family; older siblings love to be the squirrel!
