Ideas DGD to stay for the night in caravan !

Fuzzy felt, a Sylvanian family, Snap cards, magic drawing board and magic painting.

Having lived in a caravan for several months with a 3 year old we found jigsaws really popular - buying a new one was a big treat.
Also, books.ots of these.

Depending on space, I'd just pack what she likes at home.

Type 'free memory games for kids' into Playstore (or wherever you get apps from).
DGD particularly likes the one with Peppa Pig cards which also has Paw Patrol cards. Varying degrees of difficulty btw!

A pack of Snap cards - you use them in lots of ways apart from the intended game. My dgd at that age (only a few months ago) liked to match up all the matching cards on the table or floor, and we also played a simple memory game using just a part of the pack.
I spy was good too, using colours (I spy something ... green etc.)

Mine also loves to dance, so even in the limited space of our motorhome, it was worth having a few music CDs with us for her to dance along to. She turned out to be a big fan of Buddy Holly

Play dough is usually a soothing activity.
I hope you all have a lovely time away.

lots of singing and storytelling
books and colouring

the trouble with too many fiddly bit and toys like lego is there isnt much space in a caravan to bend down and grovel on the floor to pick up the mess
so keep tidy and have fun

Another recommendation for a few games from Orchard Toys. They come in small boxes and can be played in different ways to suit age of child. Sturdy cardboard and reasonably priced.

We took our gd camping in a tent when she was just 3. All she wanted todo in her little house as she called it was sit and colour and talk. So I suggest some good colouring books and pencils and if it’s pencils don’t forget the sharpener as mine loved using it. Enjoy.

A ‘magic’ painting book (water only needed) went down well with my Gdd at that sort of age. Especially if it had pics of fairies. Funny that my totally non-girly dd produced a very typically girly daughter!

These are all brilliant thank you. Especially love the Gin idea xx

Colouring is always popular and maybe a simple game like Old McDonalds Lotto or Shopping List (both Orchard Toys from the long river company)
And gin for you.

When my 4 GC were that age they all loved these magic colouring books. The invisible pictures and patterns are already on the pages. It comes with a little pen that you fill with water and the pictures magically appear when you draw with the water pen. Better still they are reusable as the pictures disappear again when dry.

Reciting nursery rhymes, singing songs, counting games.

A Google search produced many suitable videos to help although all seemed to be produced in America with some changes to usual tunes.

www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/games We used to play some of these with our grandsons. Enjoy your time with her.

Our little grandchildren are currently into stickers.

Lidl have some wax crayons this week which show the colour well.

A small treasure box with a couple of big shiny buttons, shells, large coins, bits and bobs (too big to swallow) kept ours busy for quite a while - she shared it with the teddy she brought with her as well as with us.

Easy board games? Snakes and ladders etc.
A drawing pad and colouring things, sticker books, any children's picture books and children’s books for you to read to her.Educational but fun games on the ipad?
