Betem 24 Colors Dual Tip Acrylic Paint Pens
My kids LOVE to play in the dirt. The boys love to use their diggers and my daughter loves looking for rocks and gems. I love a hard sided plastic pool to fill with some dirt but if you're short on space this collapsable one works. Or, you can use it...
Foldable Kiddie Pool with Hard Plastic
Listen, get chalk and get it from your local dollar store or walmart. It'll be cheaper than on amazon. And you won't feel bad if they get broke or left behind.
CHALK!!
Baby Needs
Why do small beings need so much stuff?
This is 100% necessary from the time babies are sitting up and exploring to walking. You need to get dinner ready? Throw some toys in this and they'll love it!

Love this thing! They can stand up in it or sit, perfect for snack time.

I like a rug that is waterproof, shakes dirt off easy, is big and covers some dirt up.
MontVoo Waterproof 5x8 Outdoor Patio Rug
Game changer! Love wrapping these around trees and the canopy of the camper for a soft glow at night. Keeps kids from tripping (for the most part..) in the dark, and isn't so bright you're attracting bugs.
Solar Camping String Lights 33FT 8 Modes
Most campsites have old wooden picnic tables that can splinter. I love these covers, and they don't need weighed down like a traditional table cloth, there's elastic!
Vinyl Fitted Picnic Table & Bench Covers
You guys….literally thee best for a little one on the go. We received this for a 1 year old Bday gift and he loves it! And we are still on the first step of just me pushing him and him not pedaling. Can't wait to see how he grows with it.
newyoo Tricycle for Toddlers
I use these for everything! First aid kit, sunscreen/bug spray, paper plates/napkins. Easily keeps everything outside for you and doesn't get wet.
Waterproof Storage Boxes
Must have! Hang wet towels, suits, shoes…even a basic rope works but this makes it easier.
Retractable Travel Clothesline
Candles….honestly I don't know if these do anything but I grew up with a mother who always was about the ambiance and candles are where it's at!
OFF! Backyard Citronella Scented Candle
Who doesn't love glow sticks?! Pretty cheap on Amazon compared to Dollar Tree. Fun for the pool, night walks, etc.
