Finding things to entertain children while you are babysitting can be challenging. So why not think inside your box and have a camp in. I’ve not met a kid yet that cared if their s’mores were made over a campfire or in an oven; chocolate and marshmallows are good either way.
Here are a few ideas on how to set the stage and enjoy some family time:
Sleeping arrangements – for young kids, pitch a tent in the living room, the kind that pop to life. For everyone else, arrange sleeping bags on the floor. This is great fun for a change during nap time!
Ghost stories – leave the television off and tell ghost stories to each other. And if you just must have the television, make it a movie night without cell phones or computers.
Goodies – serve all the same things you would if you were outside: hotdogs, marshmallows, hot chocolate, popcorn.
Kid’s will enjoy this fun inside activity on a hot or rainy day. Just remember to pack your tent before you arrive.
