Every summer we have a big camping trip {camping: a cabin and running water} with our extended family. All together that makes 14 little kids under the age of 12. Being a crafty gal, I am always put in charge of coming up with some fun crafts for the kids so they don’t get bored or restless while dinner is cooking or while the camp fire is being started.
Searching the internet I have found so many fun things to do with the kiddies on these memorable camping trips that I thought I would share them with you. So here are 20 of my favorite CAMPING CRAFTS FOR KIDS!
