the toys and activities we bring on an Airstream trip

Yes, when we go camping, we do a lot of fun things. But we still bring activities with us.

I like to keep our daily rhythm somewhat similar in the Airstream to what we do at home, so I bring along a few supplies for sensory play, morning activities, and Quiet Time. My preschooler and I both benefit from the predictable rhythm, but it’s also nice to have these things when she’s tired, when the weather’s poor, or when we need a quiet moment while on the road.

I swear by bringing all these things for a successful trip with little kids.

Here’s what we bring.

• this monthly activities subscription for easy crafts and morning activities

• these three indoor toys for early mornings and poor weather

• this camping-themed play dough invitation

• these weather and nature themed play dough mats

• this very basic rice bin + sensory supplies

• these art supplies + these storage bins

• these national park coloring books + a magnetic USA map puzzle

• geoboards, pattern blocks, math cubes, and other quiet fine motor activities

• these preschool activities about clouds, weather, and calendars

• these printables for literacy, handwriting, and fine motor skills

• these books + magazines

Also!

• our favorite outdoor toys

• our favorite water toys

• what I keep in my pool bag

Whew!
