Camping with your children will be a wonderful bonding experience. And, when children can play outside there are less rules and restrictions, making it fun for the whole family.
Besides all the running around and exploring and the normal camping chores, there will also need to be a time for quite play. Planning ahead of time you could prepare some simple crafts for kids to make while sitting at a picnic table.
Here is one I thought would be fun and children will learn about design in nature from this toddler craft.
LEAF PRINT
You will need:
* Paper
* Different types of leaves
* Paint or crayons
Put the paper flat on the table and then put the leaf under the paper. After you’ve done that, use the crayon to shade the print of the leaf on the paper.
If you are using paint, you put the leaf in the paint and then print in on the paper.
You could bring some zip lock bags to store their leaves in if your child does not have some other idea of his own – such as decorating his tent.
