You can understand why families tend to spend the bulk of their time inside. Some 85% of the UK live in urban areas, and in that environment, it’s just natural that we’re more likely to find ourselves in our living rooms than outside. Throw in the fact that the UK receives more than its fair share of rainfall, plus the fact that we’re all slightly — or very — addicted our smartphones, and it becomes even more understandable.
So here’s something to picture for just a moment: your child, who used to spend hours marveling at bugs in the yard or inventing wildly imaginative stories, now grumbles at the thought of anything remotely educational. Maybe even when it comes to the holiday season, they have next to no interest in those learning-filled activities (like the history of the holiday itself). Basically, the wide-eyed wonder is gone, replaced by eye-rolls and the dreaded phrase, “Why do I even need to learn this?” Sound familiar? It’s a phase every parent dreads.
It’s easy to dismiss cosplaying as a nerd hobby for people who play too many video games or watch too much anime, but of course, that would be a mistaken and somewhat harmful impression.
If you are keen to make sure that your child has a great start in life, there are lots of ways to do this. The truth is that some of the most important things are actually quite simple to encourage, especially if you are keen on making this as easy as possible. In particular, you may want to think about some of the things you can do to help your child develop their creativity. In this post, we are going to discuss what that might entail, so let’s look right now and see what you might want to consider here.

In this post, we take a look at some essential camping gear that will transform your family’s experience. These simple innovations let you continue experiencing the best that camping has to offer, all the while making it feel less like you’re stuck in a cold, miserable field.
