We survived!! We took the kiddos camping for the very first time ever!! Well it was more like glamping, as we had the opportunity to borrow the in-laws camper for a couple of weeks!! Now that we have had a taste of the wilderness life, we can’t wait to get our own awesome trailer, so we can enjoy camping adventures all summer long!

Since the kiddos have never experienced the outdoor camping life before (and we have not experienced sleeping next to the kids before), I thought I’d create a Kids Camping Activities Bag, so that if they go tired of all the fishing, swimming, camp fires, and exploring they would have some little fun activities to keep them busy. We gave them these bags when we arrived at the camp site (and of course after they got naked!! Why are my kids always naked?!?!), and they were so happy with all their fun goodies.

So if you are looking for some ideas to make your kiddos first camping trip a little more fun, check out our list of things to add to an awesome Kids Camping Activities Bag.

Let me know what you pack for your young kiddos for your camping trips to keep them busy?!?!

Until next time, enjoy the great outdoors with your kiddos, and create beautiful things everyday!
