We also have walkie talkies for when the grandkids come, they are not to leave the site without one.
They like a magnifying glass, binoculars, camera, a journal, a small plastic bin for treasures they find. Books on birds, insects, wildlife and vegetation. Our kids and grandkids love to identify everything.
I also prefer sheets to sleeping bags on all the beds. I carry an extra set of sheets for each bed. They wash easier. With kids one of them is sure to either have an accident or have an upset tummy at some point. I also put a mattress protective pad on their beds.
Teach your kids early how to start a fire, how to use the stove and BBQ, how to shut off propane tanks. If you start early teaching them about your RV they will learn better to respect it, how each appliance works etc. Even how to deal with the nasty tank. You never know how their help will be valuable, even life saving. Each child will be different so to say an age would be inappropriate but as soon as you feel they are ready.
