Cant believe I'm writing this as its currently pouring with rain, but never mind - hopefully next week will be dry!! We're off camping with our two year old and I'm really not sure what we need to take and how to prepare her. I want her and my partner (who is a fair weather camper at best!) to enjoy our first experience and make it a regular thing. Am trying to think of nice things that can become our family 'camping traditions' if that makes sense. I've got her a little air bed, head torch and a ladybird camp chair. Will let her choose where to pitch tent and am going to get her to help make some bunting to put up in our tent which she'll love. I'll plan a couple of easy dinners that she can help with and she'll no doubt enjoy a bath or two in the washing up bowl and bedtime story by torchlight. She's obviously too young to get involved with marshmallows on sticks - any toddler friendly alternatives? I think/ hope she will just find the whole thing very exciting. Will obviously take full waterproofs for all of us and hope to do lots of exploring and insect hunting. Anything else you'd recommend or tips to help make it a success?
