Thinking back to when our kids were small, they were some of the best camping trips we ever had - even when one tent got flattened during a Kansas windstorm!


Well, small streams provide endless entertainment (supervised) for small children looking for crayfish, newts and other nifty life forms - so I'd recommend camping near one if at all possible. Keep in mind that most small streams have "kid magnets" in them - so keep a dry change of clothes.

Then there are activities like looking under rocks, poking around in rotting logs - lots of fun!

Take a look at what she normally does at playtime and figure out a way to extend that to the outdoors - you'll have a BLAST!
