As a photographer I am also careful to never do chalk on old brick because it never washes off.

Most campsites don't have hoses and it's not easy to get that stuff off. I wouldn't want to camp in spot where kids have graffitied up the natural surroundings. <br />Otherwise these are great ideas. We also keep packed in the camping gear: Bug/Butterfly nets, a plastic bug keeper & magnifying glasses. Jump ropes, paddles and tennis balls, balsa wood planes, little plastic animals (#1 toy! for both my DS & DD as tots),small plastic dishes for the dirt or water and a small metal gardening set for digging and raking the dirt. I also keep an art kit in the camping supplies. I have thick paper, water color paints, markers, glue, scissors, tape, ect.. I've found that nature makes them creative.

Writing on trees or rocks doesn't always easily wash off in the rain, especially if it's got overhanging branches or rock above it. We had to get a team of people to volunteer to wash off a ton of sidewalk chalk graffitti at the base of cliffs in a climbing area in a nature preserve because there was overhanging rock and the chalk wasn't washing off. It's graffitti. It's unsightly. Kids should not be encouraged to draw graffitti on natural objects and need to learn to leave no trace when they go into the outdoors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136354382922279761.post-24801969348808615192013-10-08T06:40:31.205-07:002013-10-08T06:40:31.205-07:00I would love to pin this to my camping board on pi...I would love to pin this to my camping board on pinterest but didn't see a button.

We have 2 young boys(4 and 1)and are always looking for natural fun for the kids. My oldest last year was Pig Pen from peanuts! Good for you! Keep letting those boys get DIRTY!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325990743623724826noreply@blogger.com
