Inside Camping

If you have a little one who wants to go camping when you don't, this is a perfect compromise. Get a battery-powered candle, a big tent set up, and rainy night. You can enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your own living room. For a little added fun, try to make a campfire with construction paper around the candle. Now, it's like you're really living outside!
