Also a little teaset is fun when camping with little teapot, plates etc. You’ll also need outdoor toys such as bats and balls to keep them amused while you’re pitching or loading. We had a toddler set of table and chairs which they loved doing their drawings and puzzles at (and kept them away from the big table that we needed for meals!). Footwear that is easy and quick to put on are good, such as wellies or Crocs. Also hooks by the door of your tent (you can use the kind of hooks that you hand on a baby play gym or simple S hooks) to hang up wet coats. When a toddler needs to go, they need to go – and quickly! Also a little folding stool is handy for them to stand on to wash their hands in the campsite bathrooms, or help with washing up. I always pack a couple of aprons for camping so you can keep your clothes clean.

Get yourself a checklist, plan your camping trip and your first tent camping trip with your kids will be a breeze. Nice post Donella Crigger!

No matter what we loved it and always went stocked with plenty of things to do, I had a trunk with all the things they liked at the time for entertaining. We loved camping and would go every weekend.

Thank for sharing your post on the OMHGWW this week!!
Have a great night

My kiddo is the same way. Give him some dirt, rocks and grass, and he’s a happy boy. 🙂

We did the same thing. We even kept a few things in each vehicle, just in case we ran out the door in a hurry.

They’ll have a great time! The first camping trip is always super exciting. Don’t let them forget the bug spray!

Having a play ground with lots of things for her to do definitely made the trip more enjoyable. All great tips. Pinning!

My husband is taking our 4 year old tent camping this summer for the first time. They are both super excited but I want to make sure they are prepared and equipped for everything. Thanks for sharing.
