If your family loves camping as much as we do, then you are probably ecstatic to get outside, in the trees and under the stars with your loved ones. When you sit around the campfire do you tell stories? Catch up with old friends? Or maybe you enjoy reading a book to your kids while making memories that will last a lifetime.
Workman Publishing has a whole line of books perfect for you and your family to read on this summer’s camping trips. Start by planning a trip to one of the 21 parks portrayed in National Parks of the U.S.A.! This book is packed with fun facts about the plants and wildlife that occupy the park, with plenty of maps and illustrations.
Once you and your little ones have read up on the park of your choosing, it’s time to get packed and in the car. On the way there, read Let’s Go Outside to get them even more excited for your next adventure. Or if your kids are a little bit older and have been exposed to the world of smart phones, use Tuned Out: A Cautionary Tale to encourage them to be more engaged with their surroundings!
Now that you’ve arrived at your camping spot, keep your little ones entertained with any of our Finger Puppet Books: Baby Fox, Little Moose, or Baby Bear Finger Puppet Book. With finger puppets inside the books, these are sure to keep your infants or toddlers entertained while you set up your campsite. Keep your older kids entertained with Bigfoot’s Adventures, a search and find book where you help Bigfoot find critters and different objects on each page!
After you’ve gotten your campsite all set up, you need something to get your kids excited about walking the trails. Backpack Explorer: On the Nature Trail and Backpack Explorer: Bug Hunt have you covered. Whether your little ones are interested in finding and identifying bugs or plants and trees, these books come equipped with field guides, sensory scavenger hunts, projects, fun facts, a magnifying glass and a log for recording what your little explorer sees!
Finally, it’s time to lay down and let your little adventurers rest up for the next day. Take your pick from Moonlight Prance, Woodland Dreams, Goodnight Loon or our personal favorite, Goodnight Minnesota. These beautifully illustrated books will lull your children to sleep so you can enjoy a perfectly cozy night under the stars.
