We'll be camping for four nights at a music festival with DD (4.5 yo) and DS (21 months). We've done it once before, so are not total newbies, but would love any tips on what to bring or camping with kids in general. Oh--and snack/food ideas too. We will have a cooler, but no way to cook.
Thanks, mamas!
Here's what we are planning on bringing for them to play with:
- cardboard playhouse for them to decorate and play in (a HUGE hit with all the kids last time!)
Definitely "sand" toys...shovels, pails, etc. Fabric streamers to dance with. Other than, that, we found that they were plenty entertained by the vendors, music and people watching. Not ideas for food...we always have at least a small camp stove to cook noodles, etc. But have fun!!! (and don't forget earplugs for the littles
We are doing this in about a month too, flying from OH to Seattle and camping when we get there. My grandmother is driving, so she is taking all our camping gear (so nice!) and we are trying to pack as little as possible Also, we are going to a family reunion and our hosts are making food, so we only have to get drinks, snacks, etc. One of the moms on another board suggested a flashlight for everyone, so there's no fighting. And our flight home is an overnight (yikes!) so I am going to take some melatonin, rescuse remedy, and some Vitamin C gummies for the kids....
Also, mine are still small for hard candy and gum, so my coworker suggested twizzlers for the plane ride to decrease the ear popping.
