3 year old birthday while camping!

We are taking our family across Europe on a camping trip for 3 weeks in August this year but my DD’s birthday falls in the last week that we are away. She’s turning 3 so I know that she’s still small enough for it to be any other day but she absolutely loves attending friends and family birthdays and does get excited about it!

Please give me some ideas on little presents! They need to be transportable enough to carry with us until her birthday but not little fiddly things like puzzles, playdoh etc which will just get lost.

So far I have on my list -
A new book (she rarely has new ones as they are always hand me downs from her sister and those are very well read by all of us!)
Some new pyjamas
A cocomelon goodnight song doll.

Much to my irritation she adores Cocomelon and has usual 2-3 year old interests.

I’ll be taking a few banners and we’ll source a cake wherever we happen to be! We’re really lucky to be going away like this for a whole three weeks and with the added bonus of travelling with friends and their kids too so we will be able to throw a mini party and make it special 😊

Games to play whilst camping, maybe with other kids there like a set of boules/ beach cricket?

@Shitlord brilliant thank you! We have a few games for the kids to play but didn’t think of cricket :)

any merch she can use during the holiday? Bag, plastic drinkware, clothing, even a pair of socks?

Could you make birthday smores (I think that the spelling!?)
You always see them on American camp outs in films!
