As I told you yesterday, we went camping over the weekend. YEAH! It was one of the those perfect camping trips that is a mixture of relaxation and fun. The kids kept themselves busy hunting snakes (only pretend of course) and rolling around in the dirt. They all came home exhausted and filthy.
At a party last month these super cool Fruit Cones were served. We loved them and have used the idea twice already. As I suspected they were the perfect camping treat. Before we left I cleaned up and cut up grapes, cantaloupe and strawberries. (We had a special request for peaches… I cut those while were camping.) All that was left was to scoop the fruit into the cones. No extra mess, plates or utensils. AWESOME! Plus it was an fun way to make sure the kids were snacking on healthy goodies.
More ideas to try while your camping…
Turn little campers into explorers.
Get in a little target practice game.
Play with firewood (before you build an actual fire).
Ideas to try while waiting for your next camping trip…
Read some fun camping books.
Go fishing in your living room.
Build a pretend camp fire.
What makes camping extra special for your family?
