Basics for organizing a family picnic

Feb. 18, 2021

During the year there are times when we long to enjoy good weather and fresh air in the countryside. In particular, the spring and autumn seasons invite us to spend more time outdoors .

A picnic is the best excuse to spend time with the family in a natural environment, while we delight in some culinary country preparations. At PoolFunStore we put at your disposal all the basic tips so that you can live many picnics with intensity, and so that nothing fails you. Therefore, read our tips, and discover our Camping section.


Basics for organizing a family picnic
Plan in detail

The first thing you should consider is both the place where you will have the picnic . Although it may seem exaggerated, it is better to take a pencil and paper (or use your smartphone) to write down all the necessary elements that you will take to your picnic : glasses, plates, cutlery, thermos, napkins, etc.
Discover our Camping section, so that you can acquire those elements or materials that you need. Take a look at our great deals on Outdoors: Tables .

Select menu

Keep in mind that a picnic menu is characterized by being simple, practical, and delicious . The preparations must be able to be kept at room temperature, easy to put in the mouth, and once consumed, they must leave as little waste as possible . Consider the following options for your menu: assorted sandwiches (salty and sweet versions); roast meat to accompany a rich salad; salad servings with bulgur, pasta, or couscous; thermos with hot coffee or tea; and as a dessert, almost any preparation is valid, except for ice cream.

Food preparation

Once you've selected the menu, think about the best day to shop and buy some disposable items like glasses, plates, cutlery, and napkins. The plastic wrap is an essential element so that your preparations are kept hermetic and separated. To carry drinks, consider using glass bottles, as a great eco-friendly option to carry lemonade, wine or juices. If you go with children, remember to bring a good amount of water.

Make the salads the night before the picnic, as they will stay fresher and more palatable.


Other basic elements

A picnic without a blanket, baskets, cooler and containers is not a picnic. Consider bringing a laminated blanket that can be easily folded and stored, as it is more practical.

It is also useful to bring folding camping chairs . Visit our catalog to find out about the great deals in Aire Libre . Likewise, do not forget that both umbrellas , hats, caps, and sunscreen are essential to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Also take an insect repellent .

Leisure items to go

The goal of any picnic is to enjoy nature. However, there are many leisure activities that you can carry out in the countryside, while enjoying the air, the sun, and the scent of flowers. If there are children, bring appropriate toys and games for the occasion. For adults, maybe that book you want to keep reading, a game of chess, or cards.

When the picnic is over

Once the fun is over, it is imperative to collect everything without leaving any waste . If you have food left over, use the plastic wrap to take it home, and keep several garbage bags on hand. Remember to leave the place as clean as possible , so that we all enjoy the public natural spaces.
