One of the favorite outdoor pastimes is gathering family and friends and heading out for a picnic. Picnics are a lot of fun and you just cannot beat relaxing outside with good food, refreshing beverages, and pleasant company. Since a decent amount of preparation is involved with having a successful picnic, it is important to make sure you have all the supplies ready.
Of course, on the top of the list is the food and drink, but an equally important item is the blanket or mat upon which you will set up your spread. Because you and your guests want to be as comfortable as possible, and because there are no guarantees with finding an available picnic table or dry ground, a waterproof Matace picnic blanket is a great solution.
Picnics were a favorite activity for romantic couples wanting to get away from the watchful eyes of their families. They would take their blanket and basket, find a quiet spot, and spread out their blanket. For the time they were enjoying their picnic the blanket not only was a good place to sit but defined their space. Even today a picnic blanket defines your space whether at the beach or in a park. From the time you spread the blanket on the ground to the time you leave, the space is yours. When you take the kids to the park to play they understand if they want a drink or a snack they come back to their picnic blanket. Perhaps their little brother or sister is napping on the blanket with a sense of security.
Picnic blankets are more than a place to sit while food is served. In the backyard, a blanket can be spread out for the children and their toys. It keeps them from being scattered around the yard. And, when it is time to go inside, just grab the corners together and easily carry the toys back to the house.
Today, many picnic blankets have a waterproof backing which is good if the ground is damp or more dirt than grass. The dirt is easily hosed off saving messing up your washing machine. Perhaps you have found a picnic table at the wayside but between the birds and spills, you would rather not sit there. Spread out the blanket on the ground and have a nice lunch.
Keeping a picnic blanket tote in the car is a good idea. It will come in handy for impromptu picnics, parades, and travel. If a sudden shower comes up use the blanket as a cover and wrap. The waterproof backing will keep you dry. Some picnic blankets have inflatable pillows sewn in so you can relax after a hearty picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful day.
Amazingly, a simple piece of bright or one-color material served so many useful purposes. The picnic blanket gives security to small children, a pleasure to a romantic outing for couples of all ages, and casual fun outings for family and friends.
Waterproof picnic blankets are simply: blankets that provide 100% protection from surfaces that are damp and will provide you with long-lasting comfort. These blankets are constructed with two separate sides. The top side, typically made of acrylic, polyester fleece, or soft cotton fabric compliments a backside made from a rugged waterproof material like nylon. The blanket’s lining is filled with polyester batting or foam padding to ensure a pillow-like cushion for hours of comfort. And being machine washable, it makes it very easy to keep these blankets clean and ready for future use.
When looking for a waterproof picnic blanket, look for one that will accommodate your group’s size, can easily be transported, and will work perfectly for the type of terrain you will be sitting on. You will be surprised how versatile these blankets are and in what situations you can put them to good use.
