Cheshire East Family Hubs North

It’s National Picnic Week and what a perfect excuse to take your lunch outside.

In all the excitement, children may want to explore but it’s important to encourage them to sit down when eating to reduce the risk of choking.

Plus, don’t forget choking is silent, so be sure to watch them whilst they’re eating so you can react quickly if they get into trouble.

What’s your favourite picnic snack for your children? Let us know in the comments.

Full of rhymes, farmyard fun, and a clever little ladybird with a big idea, this story is perfect for sparking imagination and encouraging a love of reading.

Why not share it together at home and see if you can spot all the animals and join in with the repeated sounds? 🐄🐑🐖
