Our family loves to camp! Even if it's too hot to camp, we enjoy just taking day trips to the lake or take a drive up into the mountains. I hope you’ve been able to take
advantage of these beautiful summer afternoons and nights with family
and friends as well! If you’re looking to get out of the house and into the
heat, Pillsbury is here to share some creative, easy (and yummy) ideas
to entertain the little ones for hours. Living on the West Coast, we have an advantage of grilling just about year round - it's my favorite way to cook! Just grab a tent, make a fire
and dish up some of these camp-inspired ideas for a night of magical
family moments under the stars.
1.
Have a kid-friendly backyard “drive-in” movie night with a large bed sheet and projector.

Use glow necklaces and glow bracelets for a few rounds of nighttime ring toss.

What’s an outdoor summer night without s’mores? Pillsbury’s
