I'm taking my sister in law and her boys(2 and 4) camping for their first time. Other than the usual hunting for "cool rocks" and fishing with no hook what are some fun things to keep the kiddos bus...
Flashlights! This part of Texas they can hunt Wolf spiders when it gets dark. Have them put the flashlite next to their head so it shines out in front of them. The little blue dots they'll find are Wolf spiders staring back at them.
And of course what kid with a flashlite won't spend hours trying to signal the stars?
