CAMPING / HIKING / THE GREAT OUTDOORS

• Set up a tent in your living room - sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, fairy lights. If you have blue sheets / material, add a ‘river’ near the entrance to your tent! 
• Light up a “fire” on your screen at home for ambience 
• Backpacks: grab a backpack each, and get kids to think of what ‘essential items’ they may need for camping or hiking.
• Make: Bug spray - Need: plastic spray bottle, some essential oils. Kids fill bottles part water, part essential oils, we used lavender and tea tree - if you’re brave add some food colouring - have them squirt those pesky mossies away all over the bathroom walls. 
• Make: 'Going on a Bear Hunt' Maps
• Make: Binoculars - Need: two toilet rolls, string, cellotape & wide tape. Paint toilet rolls with one thin layer paint, stick the rolls together with wide tape & cellotape either end of the string inside each roll. 
• Prepare: Trail mix!  (whatever you have at home: pretzels, m&m’s, cheerios, dried fruit?) to bring with!
