Activity Tote

What is an Activity Tote?

  • It's a special tote just for our daughter filled with things to do that is only opened during our camping adventures.

What is in the Activity Tote?

  • Net for catching insects or other things
  • Bucket
  • Shovel
  • Bug Box or bug jar (plastic peanut butter containers are GREAT bug jars)
  • Outdoor games
  • Craft supplies
  • Bubbles
  • Puzzles
  • Board Games
  • Beach Ball
  • Basically anything that can stay in the garage that we want to make available only during camping
Our daughter this year is four so entertaining her while camping is fairly easy.  Her age combined with her love of critters and flowers keeps her busy almost the entire time we are at camp.  However, she still thinks its fun to open this tote to pull out things to do.  Because it is only opened when we are camping, the items do not get old and boring to her. 

Make space for a tote for your kids and fill it with things they may not normally get to play with at home.  Not only will they entertain themselves, but they may also entertain you with stories of their adventures in catching the water bug or with their squeals of laughter playing with their dad!
