Camping Books and Activities for Little Learners

Does anyone else think about camping when Summer rolls around? My husband LOVES to go camping, but this Summer we’re unable to make the trip. So, we’re bringing the camping fun home! I hope y’all will join us with these fun camping books and activities for little learners!

Camping Themed Math and Literacy Centers

We are loving our new camping themed unit for toddlers and preschoolers! The first thing I grab when it’s time to put together our camping books and activities is this set. This unit includes 10+ hands-on, printable activities in color and black/white. Your little ones will love practicing common Preschool skills like counting, colors, shapes, and more! Each center in the unit can be adapted for little ones ages 2-4 and includes tons of fine motor skills practice!

We love sensory bins! I just can’t ever pass up a great opportunity to put together some fun sensory bin activities to match our different themes! And as LG gets older, our collection of academic sensory bins grows as well!

This FREE sensory bin matching mat is a fun addition to your camping theme whether you choose to use a sensory bin or NOT. Simply provide your kiddos with the cut out pieces and help them make their matches on the matching mat! This set practices identifying and matching shapes!

Summer Math and Literacy Worksheets

One of our favorite activities each month are our themed worksheets. Using worksheets with preschoolers may sound a little odd, but LG LOVES these practice pages! All of the pages include coloring, cutting, gluing, tracing, and more! That way your kiddos are combining fine motor skills practice with academic skills! With 40+ practice pages, this NO PREP set is a lifesaver!
