The best snacks for school are healthy and build brain power instead of providing sugar that will later drop in the day and create an afternoon crash.

Kid’s Camping Journal Printable

Create a memorable outdoor adventure with this Kid’s Camping Journal Printable.  Using guided prompts have your child share favorite events, who they traveled with, memories and more. Continue the tradition each year and add to your camping printable as a kid’s camping logbook. 

Kid’s Camping Journal

Many of us have taken our kids camping and it was a great experience. However, there is a way to take your camping adventures a step further. If you’d like to get your kids even MORE involved in the camping experience, then it’s time to check out a camping journal. I want to walk you through how to utilize a kid’s camping journal and how it can be a great asset to learning.

Camper’s Profile

I love the idea of a camping journal because kids camp more than once in their lifetime. Each time you take your child camping, they can have a new profile. It’s so fun to look back on the camper’s profile and see what age, grade, location, etc, for each camping trip. Putting together the camper’s profile is one of the best parts for kids and creates a memory page you can keep forever!

Camping Education

When we do something with our kids, we strive to make it a little educational. I have found that this camping journal for kids is an excellent way to teach them about camping and where it all started. Everything we do didn’t just happen, there is always a story behind it and a camping journal is a great way to track that history!

Camping Education Answers:

What is Camping? Camping is a _____ activity. It is usually done _____ for _____ . (These can all be personalized to your child.)

Who is Thomas Hiram Holding?Thomas Hiram Holding is the founder of modern recreational camping. He made the first camping handbook in the world.

Camping Buddies

Whether your child is going off to camp with a recreational group or you are taking them camping, they always meet someone new. It’s always a lot of fun to get their information, so that you can keep in touch. There is space in this camping journal for kids to be able to keep track of their camping buddies and even get in touch with them when they get home and get settled. Perhaps a future pen pal!

Camping Lessons

You can’t live if you don’t learn. While camping, your child is bound to learn a lot from camping. This camping diary will allow your child to keep track of what they have learned from camping. It’s fun to use this journal as a memoir as well. Your child can hold onto these journals and look back to see what they’ve learned through their camping experiences.

Extra Options

I have to say that this camping notebook is an excellent way to add to a kid’s camping experience. Some of the extra options of this camping journal that I really like is that your child can keep track of their favorite memories, draw or paint their favorite scenes, and even add to their camping photo wall. Print every where and you can keep a running journal and watch your child age.

And for you and to create family memories, grab this The Camping Logbook (Camping Journal) to Record Your Adventures.


Use this camping journal to record the details of your camping adventures so you can look back on and share experiences and favorite spots.  Use fill-in the blank pages that act as a guided prompt to write in such camping details such as location, date, notable amenities and attractions, who shared the trip, who you met, favorite events, and things to avoid next time.

Camping Journal Printable and Kids Outdoor Games

Camping Games

Do you need a few games to keep you busy while you camp?  There are plenty of ways to keep children entertained while outdoors. Keep this camping journal by their sleeping bag at night. You can also find creative ideas in our overnight camping ideas including camping crafts and camping games. We have a large series of Outdoor Games for Night or print our Flashlight Scavenger Hunt for fun memories and family traditions.

You’ll enjoy camping with your child and ensuring they are learning as much as possible while being in nature. Continue this tradition by printing new pages each year and creating a yearly camping logbook for kids!

A healthy and delightful twist on the classic banana split – banana split on a stick. Easy to make, a few simple ingredients and still low-calorie and delicious.

banana-split-sticks-recipe-frugal-coupon-living

Headed to the beach? Hosting a pool party? These banana split sticks put a twist on the classic banana split recipe. Plus, they are cool because who doesn’t love dessert on a stick?

What are the main ingredients in a banana split?

when creating a traditional American Banana split there are a few key ingredient: Ice cream, chocolate syrup, bananas, nuts, whipped cream, and cherries. You can add other favorite ingredients like strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberries, pineapples, and caramel topping. The rules are your own and each individual’s Banana split can be created differently.

Are Banana Splits healthy or unhealthy – why?

Traditional banana splits would not fit many diets. Banana splits contain dairy (ice cream), chocolate, whipped cream and nuts which might be a problem for those with nut allergies. however, you can adapt the classic banana split recipe and create a healthy snack that doesn’t add too many calories but still is quite tasty and pleasing to your taste buds.

If making banana splits in a bowl or dish, try Greek yogurt. You also could add low-calorie whipped cream or leave it off. For those with nut allergies, leave off the peanuts or add granola instead! We personally find our banana splits on a stick are just at ouch of a treat but are also still very kind to those with diet restrictions.

How to make Easy Banana Split Sticks

American’s favorite dessert is now improved – Place freshly cut fruit on a stick and enjoy this twist on a classic – Banana Split Sticks!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Bananas
  • 1/4 pound Cored Pineapple
  • 6 Strawberries
  • 1 cup Dipping Chocolate
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Peanuts
  • 12 Popsicle Sticks (or skewers)

Tip: have a nut allergy, instead of chopped peanuts, try adding granola.

Directions:

Cut strawberries in half.

For each strawberry half, cut an equal size piece of banana and pineapple.

Place pineapple on first, then banana and lastly strawberry.

Place in freezer for 10 minutes.

Line a tray with wax paper or parchment paper.

Put chopped nuts in small plate to use for dipping.

Melt chocolate by heating in microwave for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.

Dip cold fruit in chocolate, then into nuts, then place on prepared tray.

For an added mess, consider serving with whip cream for dipping!

With only a few minutes prep, you can create these Beach Party individual pudding cups. Using teddy grahams, graham crackers and a few candies, you have adorable kids’ pool party snacks for a birthday, beach vacation or even a class party.

Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups

vanilla-pudding-beach-cups-frugal-coupon-living-short-collage

These tasty treats are almost too cute to eat. Turn a vanilla pudding cup into a beach scene complete with a circle float, umbrella and bear laying on a towel above the beach sand. While these snacks are the embodiment of sand and surf, they are best served at a beach themed party or at a pool party as they would not go well with wind and sand.

What kind of food do you serve at a pool party?

For a pool party, you will find most of your guests snacking. While it’s nice to serve things like hamburgers, hotdogs or even pizza, make sure that you have a good selection of individual pool party snacks. That way people can eat on the go or as the sun and water develops their hunger.

Consider the following kid-friendly pool party snacks…

  • Seasoned Oyster Crackers Snack Mix
  • Strawberry Salsa
  • Banana Split Sticks
  • Cantaloupe Sailboats
  • Watermelon on a stick
  • Under the Sea Marshmallow Pops
  • Crab Sandwiches
  • Crab Cupcakes
  • Clam Cookies
  • Fruit Pizza Beach Ball 

Beach Themed Snacks

The end of school is quickly approaching and if you are looking for an EASY last day of school snack, summer party idea, or something fun for a beach-themed celebration try out these Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups.

Easy pool party snack for kids

Ingredients:

We used Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups, make sure you have one pudding up per child/serving. Follow with one Teddy Graham, Life Saver, Air Head Extreme and Umbrella to perfect your individualized beach scene!

  • Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Airhead Extreme Bites
  • Life Saver Gummies
  • Honey Teddy Graham’s
  • Drink Umbrellas

Where do I find Cocktail Umbrellas?

There are a number of places to find small drink umbrellas. I would recommend hitting the Dollar Tree first, but also look on Amazon, Target or at your local party store.

vanilla-pudding-beach-cups-frugal-coupon-living-facebook

Directions:

First Take the tops off of your pudding cups and fill to the top with your crushed graham crackers to look like sand.

Place a Teddy Graham onto an Airhead extreme and place onto the “sand.”

Stick your umbrella into the sand with a gummy life saver next to it.

Serve with a spoon and enjoy these cute little beach treats!

Can I make these the night before?

If you want to prep your beach themed party snacks the day before, prep the topping ingredients. Go ahead and set aside the number of pudding cups you need. Crush your graham crackers and store in an air tight container. Count out your number of umbrellas and peices of candy. For 30 beach snacks, it should take no more than 10 minutes prep.

How do you host a movie night outside?

To host a backyard movie night is like hosting any other party only outside. Transform your backyard into a movie theater by creating a DIY concession stand using a table top. You can even make your own DIY movie screen using a white flat sheet. Provide comfortable theater seating. This can be done with spare seating you have on the patio or invite guests to bring their own seating. Adding rugs to the grass not only create a cute party ambiance, it can keep party guests from getting itchy and provide a layer of flooring.

What should I bring to an outdoor movie night?

When getting ready for an outdoor movie night, pay attention to the weather. Light coats and blankets are important for when the weather drops. You also want comfortable seating. Lawn chairs, inflatable pools, or even blow up mattresses provide comfort. Add your pillow and you might even find yourself falling asleep under the stars. If you aren’t hosting, don’t forget a cute hostess gift like a Thanks a Latte coffee gift card for the morning. The hostess might appreciate that Starbucks coffee run.

What are good snacks for movie night?

It’s important that you serve individual party food at an outdoor movie night. Typically your seating will not include a table so you want handheld food and snacks that guests can eat on the go.

Stay with the traditional movie night food. Delicious things to eat; The popcorn can’t be beat. Tasty recipes to keep your audience fed include popcorn, cupcakes, concession candy boxes, and more. You can also twist up your traditional movie theater food and offer movie night party food include popcorn bars, watermelon on a stick, individual boxed meals and more.
