Fun Camping Activities for Kids

Kidz Xplore Outdoor Explorer Set as the name suggests is an outdoor set that contains multiple tools and equipment for your kid to use during their adventures. The kit comes with 20 pieces that include a binocular, compass, magnifying glass, and even a whistle. The Outdoor Explorer set is geared toward birdwatching and insect observation. It also comes with a bug leaflet that gives essential information in a kid-friendly way. There is also a backpack to carry the whole kit, so it won’t take a lot of space.

What I really like about the Kidz Xplore Outdoor Explorer Set is the inclusion of a compass, you can use this to teach kids how to read physical maps. The compass is also sturdily made, so it is going to withstand eventual drops. The kit also comes with a big magnifying glass that the kids can use to observe insects in their natural habitat. There are kits to safely capture the insects and observe them and at the end release them without any damage. Overall, the Kidz Xplore Outdoor Explorer Set is an educational and fun exploring kit for the kids to use.

• Has 20 different pieces
• The compass is sturdy and strong
• Comes with a carrying backpack
• The binocular has 4X optical zoom

The butterfly net could have been a bit bigger

This is one product for kids I highly recommend you get, even if you’re getting some other stuff. This is simply because it is a great way to stay in contact with your kids while exploring. Not all kids have smartphones or there could be bad reception if you are camping in a remote area, so having Selieve Walkie Talkies is not only fun but also a safety net. One great thing about the Selieve Walkie Talkies is that they come in a pack of 3, so you’ll have plenty of walkie-talkies to hand out. I recommend that you keep one for yourself and give others to the kids, so you can call them back when you need them.

The Selieve Walkie Talkies also comes with a 3 km range, which is pretty significant, especially when you don’t want kids to go far from the camp alone. You’ll need 3 AAA batteries for each of them so make sure you stock up before you go, the batteries will last a good amount of time, and depending on how much you use, they might last the whole trip. There are 22 channels on the walkie-talkies and they come in various colors that are sure to entice kids from age 3 upwards. I also like how light they are coming at just 90 g per walkie-talkie, this makes them exceptionally easy to carry for a kid.

• 22 channels are available
• 3 km range is great to have
• Small LCD screen to display information
• Dedicated buttons for all functions

• Needs standard AAA batteries

Okay, I admit, this is just not for kids because who doesn’t like glow sticks? The Attikee 840pcs Glow Sticks takes it to the extreme with 840 pieces, that’s right, this package contains an astounding 840 pieces of glowing sticks and other bits and pieces to make fun things out of glow sticks. It has 400 individual glowing sticks that are 8 inches long and around 3/8 inch in diameter. The sticks come in 7 different colors including yellow, blue, green, purple, pink, orange, and red. There are also 400 single bracelet connectors.

That’s not all, the Attikee 840pcs Glow Sticks also comes with 10 glowing glasses, 10 rainbow balls or flower connectors, and 20 triple bracelets. That is a lot of bang for your bucks. You don’t have to take them all with you on one single trip, the glow sticks only activate when you bend and shake them, so you can keep them in storage until you need them. The glow sticks also remain lit for around 5 hours, 3-4 of those are at peak brightness. The kids will have a great time playing with these glow sticks and making different shapes out of them, a perfect activity when you have a campfire going. Spooky stories, marshmallows, a warm fire, and cool-looking glow sticks make a great combo.

• Literally hundreds of pieces
• Remains lit up for a long while
• Different shapes and connectors
• Easy to pack and carry with you

Some sticks are not bright enough

Need an easy way to carry board games to the campsite and don’t want to haul 15 different ones? This is a very precise situation, but yes, they do have a solution for that. The Board Game Set – 15 Games in 1, as the name suggests, brings 15 different board games in one package, so no matter what kind of game your kids want to play, there is always going to be something that fancies their tastes.

The games include chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, Parcheesi, Tic-tac-toe, Solitaire, Snakes and Ladders, Mancala, Passout, Playing cards, Backgammon, Go fish, Old maid and Dominos. I understand that some games can be played on the same board or use the same components, but still, you’re getting at least half of the 15 games that are completely unique. I also like the wooden game center that is sturdily made and can be carried with ease. Everything is self-contained, so you don’t have to worry about packing the games individually, which is a great space-saver for your trip.

• A lot of different games to play
• Heavy duty wooden game center
• The portability is superb
• The chess pieces are of good quality

The cards could have been a bit better

The Bean Bag Toss Game (Corn Hole) and Dart Board set is the perfect camping activity for kids aged 3 to 5. It’ includes a safe dartboard (no real darts) that can be placed anywhere around the camp, and you don’t have to worry about the darts hurting the kids. It is a simple and easy to set up activity that also has corn hole and tic-tac-toe. So you’ll be getting 3 different activities for the kids to enjoy in one simple and easy-to-carry package. No matter where you are camping, the Bean Bag Toss Game and Dart Board set can be set up easily, even inside if you’re playing tic-tac-toe or darts.

What I really like about the Bean Bag Toss Game and Dart Board set is the high-quality materials they used. There is waterproof nylon and nonslip fabric, so you can place it on the beach or directly on the ground without the worry of it getting damaged. It also comes with a high elastic flat wire, this makes it easy to fold and unfold. Overall, it is a great activity for the kids to enjoy inside or outside.

The Freein Kids Sup is the perfect camping activity at the beach or near a slow river. The Freein Kids Sup is an inflatable stand-up paddleboard that comes with everything you’ll need to pack it, inflate it, and have fun on it. It is designed for kids and teenagers who are below 4.59 feet in height. If you are camping near a lake or flat water, the Freein Kids Sup is going to provide hours of fun activity to your child. Keep in mind, the board capacity is 176 LBS.

The Freein Kids Sup is made with military-grade materials that comprise off their exclusively owned military-grade laminate PVC and professional leave drop stitch. The material can easily hold 20 psi, so the board becomes quite rigid when fully inflated. I also appreciate the nonslip soft EVA deck in the detachable fan. There is also a preinstalled D ring that can be used for anchor or ankle straps. The package also contains a repair kit, a hand pump, and a pump adapter that can be used with an electrical pump.

• The deck is coated in nonslip material
• You can easily detach the fan
• The hand pump is a good addition
• Has a built-in carry handle

• You’ll need to buy the ankle strap separately

No camping trip to the mountains is complete without a mountain bike. I always take mine with me wherever I go because it is not only convenient to ride the bike around but also superbly fun. So it makes sense that you’d want to get a good quality mountain bike for your young teenager as well. The Huffy Hardtail Mountain Bike is designed for kids above 13 years of age and also who are 5 feet and above.

The Huffy Hardtail Mountain Bike comes with 21 speeds to aid in uphill climbs and is very comfortable to ride. The premium padded ATB settle has stitches on the sides and seems to be made to withstand years of usage. You can easily adjust the seat height as well. I really love the lean airport hand brakes that not only feel good but also provide near-instant stopping power. The handlebars are raised, so you don’t have to bend down while riding the bike, this provides your hands and shoulders from getting strained. Overall, the Huffy Hardtail Mountain Bike provides a great experience and is generally a smooth ride thanks to its durable steel frame, suspension fork, and comfortable seat. There is one downside though, you’ll need to have 2 bikes if you have multiple kids because they are not going to take turns (maybe they will, I don’t know your kids).

• Durable steel frame
• Superb quality suspension
• Wider and sturdy tires
• The handlebar position is very comfortable

• The assembly instructions need improvements
