Summer’s here and that means one thing: picnic season!
Here are Bridie and Bert, we believe that with the right gear (and a few clever snack ideas), picnic time can be fun, relaxed, and even… tidy (yes, really). That is why we’re thrilled to be teaming up with weaning and mealtime experts TUM TUM to give one lucky family the ultimate Summer Picnic Bundle, worth over £70!
Why We Love TUM TUM
We’ve long admired TUM TUM for their clever, beautifully designed feeding products that make mealtimes easier. Their focus on independence, nutrition and reducing food waste aligns perfectly with our values. So pairing our best-selling Children’s Towelling Beach Robe with their gorgeously cute Lunch Bag Bundle felt like quite the dream team.
But first — the snacks!
🧺 What Makes a Toddler-Friendly Picnic?
Toddlers love colour, variety and independence — and a picnic is the perfect way to offer all three. Think:
- Bite-sized portions
- Bright, inviting colours
- Foods they can pick up themselves
- Familiar flavours with a fun twist
No need for fancy recipes — just smart choices that are easy to prep and even easier to eat.
🍓 6 Picnic Ideas Your Toddler Might Actually Eat
1. Rainbow Fruit Skewers - Thread strawberries, grapes, banana slices, melon and blueberries onto toddler-safe skewers or reusable straws (and no packaging waste!)
2. Cheese & Veggie Muffins - Make a batch ahead with grated carrot, courgette and mild cheddar. Great for sneaking in extra portions of veg.
3. Dippy Pots - Use small snack pots to serve houmous, tzatziki or cream cheese with baby cucumbers, mini breadsticks or pitta slices. TUM TUM’s set of nesting snack pots are just perfect for this.
4. Sandwich Sushi - Roll up a slice of wholemeal bread with cream cheese and a sliver of cucumber or ham, then slice into “sushi” rounds. They’re bite-sized and more interesting that a traditional sandwich.
5. Mini Pancakes with Nut Butter - Great cold and easy to grab with little fingers. Add banana slices for extra fun.
6. Don’t forget a big bottle of water — plus a few treats for the grown-ups too!
