Some of our favorite picnic snacks include fruit salad, sandwiches, popsicles, and of course, some red, white, and blue cookies. We recommend using Tupperware or zip lock bags to prevent spills during the trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also want to bring a blanket to sit on, along with some plates, napkins, and plastic silverware. That way, you don&#8217;t have to worry about making too much of a mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/packing-for-your-picnic-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/packing-for-your-picnic-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/packing-for-your-picnic-2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to throw in a few fun games to play during the picnic.
