I thought I would create a thread for ideas of toys / games that are good for keeping kids amused on campsites - no tv to rely on! Things that pack down small, don’t need electricity and aren’t going to annoy other campers....
So I know that bubble wands are a no-no due to tent waterproofing. I used to take glow sticks but now I worry about the environmental impact so am not going to do that.
Sports wise, my friend who has a football-mad son takes a ball and a pop-up goal and that seems to keep him amused for hours (unfortunately my son isn’t into football...)
I’ve packed temporary tattoos / glitter tattoos / tattoo pens before and they are good fun (except the older kids can’t do them anywhere visible or they’ll get in trouble at school!)
Paper / pens / colouring books I always pack - younger kids can do colouring and the older kids often like playing games
