These picnic essentials will help you get ready for your next family picnic!
Getting your family out by the lake or just at the park for lunch is so exciting and fun if you know what to take! The worst things would be getting to your destination and remembering you forgot to pack something for the kids or you.
I put together a list that you can go off to make sure that doesn’t happen!
This post is all about the best picnic essentials!

1) Picnic Basket
We’re starting off with a basket that is big enough to hold the food and more extra items! Carrying your food to the destination will be easy with this!
2) Picnic Blanket
Unless you want to sit right on the ground and place your food on the ground as well, you need a picnic blanket preferably waterproof in case of any spilling. This one does the job right!
3) Outdoor Dinnerware
The easiest way would be to grab paper plates and cups but that would mean you have to keep buying them every time you want to have a meal outdoors. I recommend this set. It’s lightweight and obviously reusable for all the next time you want to do this! (this set comes in more colors!)
4) Napkins
Napkins are something that is easily forgotten. Make sure you don’t forget them!
5) Cutting Board
Yes, a cutting board. This will help you have extra support when setting out your food plus it comes with a built-in knife!
6) Bug Spray
Nothing worst than your picnic getting destroyed by bugs and mosquitos. Bug spray is a must!
7) Umbrella
You never know when the weather will decide to switch it up on you. Keep an umbrella in your car just in case.
8) Cozy Blanket
Just in case it’s evening time and it gets a little chilly, be prepared with a cozy blanket!
9) Entertainment For Kids
It might be difficult for kids to just sit on the ground and not do anything. Grab a ball to toss around, a book, maybe their bikes, and any other small outdoor toy they love.
10) Food & Drinks
Obviously the most important picnic item. Pack enough food and water for everyone. And extra snacks and water! Here are some picnic food ideas:
- Sandwiches
- Cheese
- Crackers
- Fruit
- Chips
