With warmer temperatures kids everywhere love being outdoors but now that we all need to stay at home what can we do?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can set the mood for having a great camping adventure with a backyard tent or an indoor creative setting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Begin by reading \u201cWe are going camping<\/a>\u201d or \u201cVamos de campamento<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0This is a fun picture book with colorful illustrations about young animals going camping with their teachers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Take advantage of the setting and the characters in the story to introduce children to new vocabulary about camping and animals and their babies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After reading the story have your little one point out what they need to go camping for a day. Encourage children to engage in the fun interactive activities in English and in Spanish related to \u201cWe are going camping<\/a>\u201d or \u201cVamos de campamento<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Talk about the things children can see at a camp and the things they can do at a camping site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arts and Crafts<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Encourage children to go on a nature walk. Have them bring homemade or toy binoculars, magnifying glasses and a basket for collecting different size stones and leaves in different colors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stones with stickers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Children can:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paint a picture on the stone<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Decorate the stones with stickers<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Draw on their stones with permanent markers<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Decorate the stones with magazine cut-outs or fabric scraps<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Leaf animal crafts<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Show children pictures of leaf animal crafts to guide them. Have fun and foster their creativity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Prepare Traditional S\u2019mores for snack<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Graham crackers<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Chocolate bars<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Marshmallows of various sizes<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ask children to break a graham cracker in half. Put a square or two of chocolate on it and a marshmallow. Add a second graham cracker on top to make a sandwich. Place it in the microwave for about 20- 30 seconds until the marshmallow and chocolate start melting. You\u2019ve made a delicious\u00a0\u00a0S\u2019more! YUM!!!!!!!!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After snack<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Open a tent and have children bring their sleeping bags. I f you don\u2019t have a tent make a pretend one by using bed sheets and cushions as in the picture below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sit with your children in a circle, read the story again and sing some camping songs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
