Camping Fun
1. Rubbings
Crayon, paper, leafs, backs, stones
2. Painting rocks
Rocks, paint, paint brush
3. Scavenger hunt
Mark off an area—can you find: ant, dead leaf, bud, pinecone, etc
4. Ice Cream in a bag
Salt, milk, sugar, ice
5. Kids Playing Tent: have fun things in there to play with
6. Sand Art—They find dirt/sand—you bring glue and paper
7. Bubbles
8. Sand Toys (outside toys)
9. Fishing Poles
10. Make Fire Starters (put in 72 hour kit & Food storage)
Egg carton, lint, pine needles—melt some wax on them (parents do) to have them stick together light up!-- I make mine similarly. I layer lint and wood shavings and smash as much as I can into each egg. Then I take an old candle completely coat the entire top with a nice layer of wax. It takes a while but its fun to do while watching tv. I’ve gotten 2 dozen out of one candle so far and can probably get another 2 dozen before its gone. It only takes 1 egg to get the fire going!
11. Bug Jar
12. Telescope
13. Maganfiy glass
14. Bird whistle
15. Butterfly Net
16. Flashlight

RANDOM INFO...

+Ever tried the omlette trick? You just put your egg, cheese and all other ingredients straight into a zip lock bag and throw that into boiling water. A few minutes later you have a perfect omlette!

+Cinnanom roll on a stick—take dough (Pillsbury) and wrap it on a stick and cook it like a marshmello

+ Camping Popcorn Popper
+Pie Irons

Quite the list.
The egg thing is good, and if you do the cinnamon dough thing I recommend starting high above the fire (about 2.5-3 feet) and slowly working your way down. When I did it it was just normal bread and when we did that it cooked more throughly and the last bit close to the fire hardened the outer layer just a little bit. mmmmmm.
