Winnie the Pooh Picnic

Blog Post Updated 5/16/24

There’s something undeniably charming about spending a sunny afternoon with friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, just like Winnie the Pooh and his pals. Learn to create a delightful Winnie picnic that will be fun for both kids and adults. Find our easy to create menu, all the recipes, decor inspiration, and shopping links.

The tablescape & Decor

We hosted our Winnie the Pooh picnic under our big Maple tree. The decor was simple and focused on natural elements like rustic wooden serving pieces, rattan, vintage linens, and a color scheme of cream, buttery yellow and light blue.

DIY "Bee Tree" Centerpiece

We created an adorable “Bee Tree” from an 8-inch styrofoam cone, beige tissue paper, toothpicks and donut holes. Little candy bees on florist wire were attached and buzzed around the tree. This fun centerpiece was not only cute but very sweet and fun to eat.

Tablescape

To create this look we used low square folding table and nestled it under a big tree in our yard. The table was topped with a buttery yellow tablecloth and surrounded by white pillows for seating. We added a vintage topper in white, yellow and light blue.

Place settings of white and light blue plates sat atop rattan chargers. We purchased our chargers at Target but they are no longer available. Similar ones are available on Amazon. We paired each place setting with a light blue tied napkin, a farmhouse style pint mug and bamboo cutlery.

Centerpiece

We tucked faux daisies and yellow poppies, billy balls, and ranunculus along with a few apricot poppies in a honey colored square basket. We created a Hundred Acre Wood sign using paint sticks and a dowel that was tucked into the floral arrangement. We also included a map of the Hundred Acre Wood along with a second “Bee Tree” donut tower and a few fresh peaches and some honey. Those little details will help transport your guests to the Hundred Acre Wood.

The Menu

This menu will appeal to children and all that are young at heart. We chose simple, tasty, and whimsical dishes that reflected Pooh and his friends. You can get all the recipes below.

Honey Lemonade

Honey lemonade is a wonderfully refreshing drink that’s perfect for any occasion. With its natural sweetness and bright, tangy flavor, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to become a favorite in your household. Get the recipe from Food Network here.

Pooh's Picnic Sandwiches

We served English tea sandwiches with a Winnie the Pooh twist: peanut butter & honey on sunflower honey bread shaped like a bear, egg salad and pea shoot served on white in a sunflower shape, and cucumber & herbed cream cheese on light rye in a shirt shape. You can get our favorite tea sandwich recipes along with shopping links for the cookie cutters we used here.

Rabbit's Veggie Pots

We picked some delicious fresh veggies from Rabbit’s garden patch and served them in little “Hunny” pots. Add a little ranch dressing to the bottoms of the pots for fun dipping! You can get our simple tutorial for making the “Hunny” pots filled with fresh veggies here.

Apricot Sage Scones

We love Martha Stewart’s apricot sage scones and thought they were perfect for a picnic in the Hundred Acre Wood. The scones are delicious served with juicy peaches or apricots, creamy yogurt, and sweet honey. Get Martha’s recipe here.

Tigger Tails

Tigger is a character that just makes you smile! He is, indeed, a wonderful thing! These Tigger Tails are simple, sweet, and so fun to eat! They only require three ingredients and a few minutes. Get our easy tutorial here.

Rabbit's "Kerit" Desserts

If you’ve visited Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, you may have tried Rabbit’s Garden Chocolate Pudding. It’s so yummy! We decided to create our own version of it for this party. It only requires three ingredients and a few minutes to prepare. Get our recipe here.

Hundred Acre Wood Cupcakes

We had fun creating these cute cupcakes. Our honey bee cupcake has a vanilla base and is mounded with light yellow cream cheese frosting which is drizzled with honey and topped with a candy bee. Our Eeyore cupcake has a delicious fudgy chocolate base and is topped with blue buttercream and a cute fondant and Oreo tail.

A Winnie the Pooh picnic is all about celebrating friendship, nature, and the simple joys of life. So pack your basket, grab your friends, and head out for an unforgettable day in the Hundred Acre Wood! Happy picnicking!
