Summer, especially late summer when the weather starts to cool, is the perfect time for a campout. If you don't want to venture far from home with a baby or toddler in tow, however, consider pitching a tent in the backyard.
Before you camp, make wind chimes that will make a soothing lullaby throughout the night. And check out the Coleman for Kids site. They've got some really nifty camping gadgets like a firefly lantern, nightwatcher telescope and an adventure belt that are all scaled down to kid sizes.
