Teach children about campfire safety with this fantastic Campfire Safety Poster. The poster contains four campfire safety tips and has a beautifully clear picture to accompany each one so that if children are non-readers they will still be able to understand the rules. Display it in your camping role-play area, or use it to teach children about forest school safety or camping safety for the summer holidays. Use these Camping Early Writing Activities to inspire young children to independently write about camping. A TOG is a unit of measurement for insulation and warmth of sleepwear and bedding. Put simply, the lower the TOG rating, the lighter the fabric. The higher the rating, the more padded and insulated it is.

This wonderful and colourful Camping Bunting resource includes five different camping-themed designs. Three of the designs feature children enjoying roasted marshmallows, one design is of a campfire and the other is of a tent. You can mix and match these beautifully-illustrated designs, or you can selectively print out your favourite ones. Whatever you decide, this Camping Bunting is sure to brighten up your classroom and help you create a positive learning environment, where your children are stimulated and motivated to learn and work. Dress warm above your torso– If nursing, sleep with your torso out of the sheets so that you don’t, in your half-asleep stupor, pull your baby down to nurse consequently putting him under the blankets. A good sleeping bag when camping with your baby is only a piece of the puzzle, but it can help with peace of mind knowing that your baby is staying warm at night and safe! The Little Mo from Morrison OutdoorsMinimal Base that goes on the ground (either by itself or paired with a nicer self inflating sleep pad)- Therm a Rest’s classic sleeping pad is about as basic as it gets, but it does get the job done! If you’re just getting into camping and don’t want to spend a bunch, this is for you! You can sleep on JUST this pad, but it will likely be more comfortable and warmer if you get some other kind of sleeping pad! I co sleep in our camper, and as a breastfeeding mom, it was the easiest set up (we also co slept at home) but of course only do this if you feel comfortable! RV Specific I wrote a whole article on how we transformed our queen bed into a darkened, sound resistant and warm sleep area perfect for use when RV camping with our twin babies here! (If you have toddlers, there is another article I wrote about safe toddler sleep and DIY in campers here!) While camping with a baby in a much more controlled environment is easy easier than tent camping, there are still some challenges to hurdle!

Use a baby tent on a big bed– Baby tents like the Kidco Peapod are another great option for young babies who aren’t rolling too much yet! Just pop it up on a spare bed you have, and it’s ready! Extremely warm –The down version of the little mo sleeping bag is rated for use in as low as 20 degree F temps! If you need to use a sleeping bag because it’s so cold, I would not recommend co-sleeping because it’s way too easy to be half asleep and end up covering your baby’s face in the night with the bag.Still dress your baby warm – Your baby still needs to be dressed warm, especially if they are at the age of moving around! I would probably still use a baby sleeping bag, especially if you have movers who don’t stay next to you (and get your warmth!) while you sleep! If you like this beautifully illustrated Camping Icons Bunting, then we have a whole range of other resources to help you plan your lessons about Summer and Camping.

You certainly can! If you and your family enjoy camping, and have recently been on a camping holiday then putting up this Camping Bunting could help your children remember all the fun things they did and learnt whilst on holiday. This bunting would also brighten up their learning area and play area, or even their bedroom. This might be the easiest choice if you don’t feel comfortable co-sleeping, but also don’t want to spend any extra money on sleep set up for your baby!Sleep is definitely the biggest concern when it comes to camping with your baby – after all, it probably took months of sleep deprivation to get them to where they are now right??

This beautifully illustrated Camping Icons Bunting is just the thing to help you decorate your classroom as you head into the Summer term. Or, if you're a parent, it can be a great way to add a bit of lovely fun to your child's learning at home, as well as a great way to get everything looking nice and colourful for your camping-themed decor. My favorite of all, especially since I nursed my 3 babies and it made camping so much easier to not have to leave the warmth of my bed to feed them! Even if you co-sleep at home, you may not feel comfortable doing so while camping depending on the situation. For some lovely holiday-themed colouring for KS1 pupils, give them this Busy Camping Colouring Challenge. Young children will enjoy spotting the different camping activities and equipment in the busy scene, as they practise their fine motor skills by colouring the scene.

If spring or fall, a camping baby sleeping bag– In most places, summer temps don’t fall so low at night that you need this, however, if it’s getting below 50 F, I would recommend getting an actual sleeping bag for your baby. This is the ONLY sleeping bag for babies I would recommend that is durable enough as well as gentle and warm for the outdoors!
