We set up our tent in the basement and then got a bunch of "babies" and "sleeping bags". We put one baby on each sleeping bag... a little early math, practicing 1 to 1 correspondance. We kissed our babies and practiced saying, "Night, night".
We also set up a fishing corner. This was inspired by Logan's love of the magnetic fishing pond at The Magic House, our local children's museum. They have fishing lures that the kids can catch with magnetic bait. He would spend all day there. While I tried to talk Greg into building this in our yard, I had to settle for good old fashioned paper fish with a paper clip.
Not only did we camp and fish, we even picnicked in the "great outdoors". We used our new dishes from yardsaling. I would give Tyson one piece of bread for his plate and one piece of bread for my plate. Again, learning 1 to 1 correspondance. I also named all of the objects as we "ate" and encouraged him to try and repeat the words.

Of course, he still has to count it all out, but it will interesting to watch and see when he can begin problem-solving the answer without counting!

We had a lot of fun playing camping together and the boys are now playing with the camp set up in their independent play!
Here is where I am linking up:



This looks like a wonderful way to camp.

I'm not really the roughing it type, but this is some camping I can go for. Love the idea!
