A peek inside a three-year-old's backpack necessities.

Here’s what I’m packing for our camping trip, besides the basics, to keep my 3-year-old curious and engaged:
1. A bug catcher and magnifier (perfect for catch and release!), plus a magnifying glass, binoculars, and a flower/leaf press
2. Two big books on birding and foraging
3. Headlamps for everyone + a manual compass
4 & 5. A couple of fun, nature-themed storybooks
6. C’s two current favorite books

Thinking about a round two with a scavenger hunt, a little basket for treasures, and some simple art supplies.
