For an extra challenge, you can introduce your child to salad dressings, and spend time with the blender trying to make the perfect mix.  • Sandwiches - Lay out lots of different ingredients, and ask your child to put together sandwiches for all the picnic guests. This will help develop their sense of empathy. In addition, they will get a good feeling when people congratulate them on thei
