Kids Crafts For Your Next Camping Trip

I grew up going camping every summer with my family (although it was a little different in a motor home) and to this day some of my favorite childhood memories are from those trips. Since camping has been top of mind this week I thought I would share some fun crafts for your next camping trip! All of these crafts use elements found in nature or use items that you would already be bringing with you and will create memorable moments with your kids.

Camping Crafts for Kids! Tons of great ideas for easy crafts to do on your next camping trip!

Tons of Craft Ideas For Camping

Have your kids make a “Camp Box” before you head camping or while you are there. This will be a great place to store little treasures such as pinecones, rocks, sticks etc. and you won’t get in trouble for accidentally throwing them out! (Via Disney Blog)

Aren’t these chairs the cutest? These easy Camp Chairs are the perfect way for your kiddos to feel independent and like a ‘big kid’. We got my daughter her own chair for our family room and she LOVES it so I think these would be a hit! (Via Simple Simon and Co)

These little Pinecone Owls are a fun craft while sitting around the picnic table. Simply find some pinecones out in the woods (if that works with your location) and add a few acorns and feathers and paint. (via Crafts by Amanda)

Make a DIY Bug Catcher with a left over juice bottle. (Via Disney Blog)

I know we always bring a huge amount of paper plates with us on our camping trip so you wouldn’t be packing anything extra for this craft besides some glue and scissors. Use your paper plates to make cute animals. They can also be turned into masks just by cutting two eye holes. (Via DLTK)

Going on a camping trip with multiple families means multiple tents and that can be confusing to young kids. Try making these personalized signs out of a left over tin cans and prop them on a stick in front of your tent so everyone knows which tent is theirs! (Via Crafts by Amanda)

Every camp ground has rocks! Collect a few flat rocks let your kids personalize them with paint. (Via Aesthetic Outburst)

For the girly girls in the bunch, make a nature bracelet using duct tape, ribbon and flowers. (Via Mustard Seeds)

Nature Pals from sticks, bark and rocks! (Via FamilyFun)

If you have kids that like to label things and stay organized here is a free printable to help you keep your gear in check! (Via Sweet Mady)

So what about you, do you have camping plans this summer? What are some of your favorite things to do?

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
