Play food
A blanket
Stuffed animals and/or dolls
Picnic basket or other container (optional)
When E was two, one of her favorite things to do was have a pretend picnic with her stuffed animals, and it's still an activity we do once in awhile. We set out a blanket on the living room floor (we have an awesome one that my grandmother made that is a perfect picnic blanket), and then we arrange all of her animals in a circle around the edges of the blanket. Some of them need to be propped up with a pillow or little bench or something else so they can sit up. Ella then gets out her play food and distributes it to the animals, who eat. After the picnic, they sometimes go "hiking" on our fireplace. Or they line up in front of the TV to play games. When W was a baby, he even became part of the picnic. It was a good tummy time activity, and I'm sure being surrounded by animals made tummy time slightly more interesting.
