February can be a tricky month—it’s cold, the holidays are long gone, and spring still feels far away. If you’re like us, you’re probably spending a lot of time inside with your little one, looking for ways to keep them entertained (and cozy!).
That’s why we love bringing a little bit of campfire magic indoors! Who says you need a real fire to enjoy all the fun of a camping adventure? With a little creativity, you can turn an ordinary evening into a special memory—right from the warmth of your living room.
So grab some blankets, dim the lights, and check out these fun indoor campfire ideas to enjoy with your little explorer
1. Make Indoor S’mores 🍫🔥
S’mores aren’t just for summer nights around the fire—there are plenty of ways to make them inside! Try these easy methods:
✨ Oven or Air Fryer S’mores – Place graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows on a baking sheet and pop them in at 350°F for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them—marshmallows toast quickly!
✨ Stovetop S’mores – Roast marshmallows over the stove using skewers (with supervision, of course). The perfect way to get that gooey goodness!
✨ Microwave S’mores – The fastest and easiest way—just 10-15 seconds, and you’ve got a melty, delicious treat!
2. Build a Blanket Fort Campsite ⛺
Transform your living room into a magical campsite! Grab pillows, blankets, and maybe even a pop-up tent if you have one. String up some twinkle lights to create a starry-night effect, and let your little camper's imagination run wild!
Inside the fort, you can:
✔️ Tell fun (or silly) “campfire” stories
✔️ Read books about woodland animals
✔️ Pretend to be explorers on a big adventure
And of course, every little camper needs the perfect cozy outfit—our Campfire Crew Sweatshirt is just the thing! With its soft fabric and relaxed fit, it’s perfect for keeping your toddler warm and comfy while they play. You can check it out HERE!
3. Flashlight Campfire Stories 🔦
Turn off the lights and grab a flashlight! Shine it on the wall and make shadow puppets, or take turns telling fun stories. Need some inspiration? Try classic campfire tales or make up your own adventure about woodland creatures!
4. Sing Campfire Songs 🎶
No campfire is complete without a little music! Grab a toy guitar or ukulele and have a sing-along to classics like:
🎵 “The Ants Go Marching”
🎵 “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
🎵 “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”
Encourage your little one to make up their own silly campfire songs—it’s a great way to spark creativity!
5. Indoor Camping Snack Time 🍎
After all that fun, your little camper is bound to get hungry! Set up a snack station with fun “camping” foods like:
🍏 Apple slices with peanut butter
🌰 Trail mix (nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chips)
🥨 Pretzel “sticks” for pretend roasting
Bonus tip: Serve everything in little camping cups or bowls to complete the theme!
