Using dollar store soap boxes to organize card games, or crayons. We did this for our homeschool card games, and flash cards. We also bought card games at the dollar store and put those in our camping supplies/Emergency Prep storage.

How to tie Knots
Welcome to Scouting Knots
These animated knots are described for scouts, but most of them have critical uses in other environments. Select the knots from: the index above left; the pictures above; or the Scouting Requirements page which provides details of the knots expected for advancement and different activities.
The Smore Box
When we went on our road trip this summer we stopped at a KOA in the Redwood Forest. While there we of course made smores. The problem was how dirty we got even though we tried so hard not to. Well Ladies and Gentlemen the problem is now solved. Make a smore box so it is easy to assemble your goodies. Although we do this for camping, I think you could also use this idea for back yard bbq's, or Summer Parties around your fire pit. Maybe even for Family Fun Night.
I just love how a picture can inspire me.
Enjoy
Rocket Straws
The other day I was browsing Pinterest for a fun activity to do with our LM. I hit the jackpot when I found this post on how to make Rocket Straws.
To start, seal an empty envelope, then draw lines as shown. Invite your child to cut along the lines (or help him with this step, if necessary). The corner of the envelope will form the top of the rocket.
