We’ll be taking our child out into the wild soon… babe in the woods. I picture him being curious about pine needles, owls in the night, lake water, boats, and fireflies.
I never went camping as a child, so as an adult it has taken time to get used to sleeping with scary sounds. And no lights.
We usually put a nightlight on for our son when he goes to bed. For our camping trip, we’re bringing the Terra Kids Camping Light, from HABA. I love how rugged this kids’ lantern is: protected by a canvas case with bright stitching. Delightful explorer features like a compass, carabiner, and alarm whistle! And safe for a little kid to see his way in the dark woods (okay, who am I kidding? THIS mama is taking the lantern to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I bet!).
And… most importantly for the wild – no batteries! It’s a generator light! Turn the crank for two minutes and get an hour of light from the 5 LEDs! Perfect for a timed nightlight in the tent!
The Terra Kids Camping Light comes with instructions, so you can explain to children what a generator light does – I am going to love sharing this with my niece and nephew too, who are old enough to understand the in-depth workings of this lamp.
My little boy loved trucking his new camping light around the yard, learning to turn it on. This is the perfect first addition to his own camping gear! I think having special gear for a trip or outing builds the excitement for children!
You can find Terra Kids Camping Light at Maukilo (remember the awesome felt grill set I shared with you last month?).

My son-to-be 5 year old little boy loves camping! We always bring a butterfly net with us because we never know what he'll need it for (a fish, a butterfly, etc).
