Picnic Basket Play Set

The Picnic Basket Play Set brings the details of a picnic for two to a tabletop. A cream open-top basket with an arched handle sits beside sage plates, peach cups, mustard-colored spoons, and triangular pretend sandwiches. A terracotta cloth adds a warm accent and gives the two place settings a spot of their own.

Lay out the cloth, then set a plate, cup, and spoon for each guest. Put a pretend sandwich on each plate or arrange the pieces beside the basket before deciding where the picnic will happen. Imagine a sunny day at the park, a stop on a walk, or a picnic moved indoors because it started to rain.

Take turns packing for the imaginary outing, setting out the pieces, and welcoming a guest. When the picnic ends, group the pieces again and choose a different place for the next one. The food pieces and tableware are for pretend play rather than serving real food or drinks.
