Pack rice cakes instead of bread, a small jar of peanut butter, and plenty of toppings like raisins, sliced apples, or berries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At picnic time, kids can decorate their rice cakes, turning snack time into an activity. They can create funny faces or designs&mdash;perfect for preschoolers and younger kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Substitute sunflower butter for peanut butter to make this allergy-friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-build-your-own-sandwich-station\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build-Your-Own_Sandwich_Station\"><\/span><strong>Build-Your-Own Sandwich Station<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Load your cooler with sub rolls, sliced deli meats, cheeses, and pre-portioned condiments. Bring everyone&rsquo;s favorite add-ons, such as lettuce, pickles, or tomatoes, in resealable bags. At the picnic, kids can assemble their sandwiches just how they like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why It&rsquo;s Great:<\/strong> Tweens and older kids love the freedom of customizing their meal, and it helps avoid picky-eater battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:0;text-align:center;clear:both\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09F5S6LNZ?tag=momof3boys370-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" style=\"color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"Sandwich Cutter and Sealer for Kids Uncrustables Maker 8PCS Heart Circle Square Dinosaur Shape Cookie Cutters Bread Decruster Pancake Maker DIY Sandwich Cutter for Kids Boys Girls Adults Bento Box\"><span style=\"-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:3px\" class=\"prthmb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51Tdw4xTVFL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Sandwich Cutter and Sealer for Kids Uncrustables Maker 8PCS Heart Circle Square Dinosaur Shape Cookie Cutters Bread Decruster Pancake Maker DIY Sandwich Cutter for Kids Boys Girls Adults Bento Box\" width=\"500\" style=\"max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51Tdw4xTVFL._SL500_.jpg\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BL81VKGC?tag=momof3boys370-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" style=\"color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"FUNGYAND Sandwich Cutter Set, 52 in 1 Bento Box Accessories Kit Includes Sandwich Cutters, Fruit Cutter, Food Picks, Silicone Cups, Musubi Maker, Rice Ball Maker, Complete Bento Lunch Box Supplies\"><span style=\"-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:3px\" class=\"prthmb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51zYA9vOC2L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"FUNGYAND Sandwich Cutter Set, 52 in 1 Bento Box Accessories Kit Includes Sandwich Cutters, Fruit Cutter, Food Picks, Silicone Cups, Musubi Maker, Rice Ball Maker, Complete Bento Lunch Box Supplies\" width=\"500\" style=\"max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51zYA9vOC2L._SL500_.jpg\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09KC1TLMN?tag=momof3boys370-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" style=\"color:inherit;display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;margin:1.5%;vertical-align:top;width:200px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"Sandwich Cutter, 5 PCS Sandwich Cutter and Sealer for Kids, Mini Cartoon Bear Squirrel Dolphin Sea Dog Bread Cutter Sandwich Cutters for Kids Bento Box\"><span style=\"-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:200px;height:200px;margin-bottom:3px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:3px\" class=\"prthmb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51jGeRetDoL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Sandwich Cutter, 5 PCS Sandwich Cutter and Sealer for Kids, Mini Cartoon Bear Squirrel Dolphin Sea Dog Bread Cutter Sandwich Cutters for Kids Bento Box\" width=\"500\" style=\"max-width:none;border:0;height:auto;width:100%\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51jGeRetDoL._SL500_.jpg\"><\/span><\/a><\/p><p style=\"clear:both;font-size:0;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cheese-amp-cracker-shapes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cheese_Cracker_Shapes\"><\/span><strong>Cheese &amp; Cracker Shapes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard cheeses like cheddar or Gouda are picnic staples.
