Travel Adventure Activities for Kids

Lonely Planet Kids' "Create Your Own Camping Activities" is the follow-up to their popular "Create Your Own Vacation Games." This new book is packed with over 80 exciting ideas for camping games, crafts, and activities to keep the whole family entertained throughout your camping trip.

Whether you're relaxing in the tent, on the road, around the campfire, or at the picnic table, this book offers a wealth of suggestions for fun things to do. It also provides tips for exploring the natural wonders found within and around the campground. Accompanied by vibrant illustrations by Sean Sims and plenty of step-by-step instructions, the activities cater to a variety of ages and interests - from games for the entire family to crafts and adventures tailored specifically for kids.

The book begins with a basic guide to camping, covering essential equipment, tent setup, and how to make the most of your campsite surroundings. It then delves into a treasure trove of camping-themed games and activities. Readers can create their own campground treasure hunts, obstacle courses, lawn games, and even host exciting sleeping bag races.

The camping crafts section encourages creativity, with instructions for making nature collages, camping hats adorned with leaves and twigs, nature paintings, and stick mazes. Budding adventurers will also find inspiration for exploring the great outdoors - from tree climbing and nature journaling to scavenger hunts, nature rubbings, and using field guides to identify local flora and fauna. The book even covers essential camping survival skills, such as building shelters, fishing, foraging, orienteering, and constructing campfires or solar ovens (with adult supervision, of course).

No camping trip would be complete without gathering around the campfire. "Create Your Own Camping Activities" provides recipes for classic camp-style cooking, like toasting marshmallows and making s'mores, as well as ideas for campfire games, stargazing, and sharing stories and songs.

Written by Laura Baker, this versatile handbook can be used anywhere your family goes camping. All you need are your imagination and the natural materials found around your campsite, along with a few basic craft supplies like paper, pens, and glue.

Lonely Planet Kids is on a mission to inspire the next generation of global citizens, encouraging young readers to approach life as an adventure. "Create Your Own Camping Activities" is the perfect companion for families who want to create meaningful, memory-making experiences in the great outdoors.
