Games/toys to keep little ones quiet in the morning?!

Hi

Anyone got any genius ideas of activities to take camping to keep little ones busy and occupied and preferably reasonably quiet when they inevitably wake up at 6.30am? Mine are 4.5 and 2. We have a large tent with a living room area...

Second the aquadoodle and also suggest keeping them out and active until late! Wear them out!

Mine are a bit older but keeping them up late (often 9.30/10 if the weather is good) means they will sleep to about 7.30/8.

Keeping them up late will help. They will get tired and probably sleep at about 7-8.

Thanks - loads of good ideas here.

My little one unfortunately always stays up late, it's impossible to get him to sleep before 9/9.30 despite cutting his midday nap to an hour. And he's still up at 6.30. I'm hoping that knackering him out with loads of swimming/running about will help.

Sticker books, small cars and biscuits are my go to for early risers when camping.
