Taking the kids out for a picnic is a fun way to spend a day. Get them busy choosing what they want to take and make, then head for a local park or place of interest, where you can all chill and relax and smell the roses. Below are some green options to help make your day greener:

Coming in a Jute bag with Lifes a Picnic logo, you can choose to have a 4 or 8 person set which includes: plates, hot drink cups, glasses, napkins, and cutlery, all held in place with a removable divider. Every part of this eco-friendly set comes from sustainable plant sources and is ethically produced, and the plates, cups and cutlery can all be re-used several times if gently washed and dried after use. Available from

Either before or after you have eaten you can have a kick about with this top quality fairtrade football. Made from 18 strip panels, the outerskin is made from micro-fibre-PU and the inner made from 4ply woven polyester, and it has the fairtrade label on the football. Available from Fairdeal Trading for £35.80 – a bit steep for a football that is going to get kicked about.
