Giveaway: Backyard Camping with Magic Cabin. Win a $50 gift certificate
12:01 AM Posted by Centsible Mommy
We were recently sent a few items from Magic Cabin that enhanced my children’s backyard camp out experience. Here’s how we enjoyed them:
For starters, we pitched the cute kids' Camping Tent from Magic Cabin to set up “camp”. This was not only a great way to enhance my boys’ backyard “camping” experience and make it feel like an actual campsite, but it was fun for my boys to pretend, play and relax in this fun camping tent. This one touch tent sets up in seconds as it easily just pops up when opened, so setting up camp wasn’t difficult at all. 
After the tent was pitched, we decided to do a little bug and bird watching. So we sat quietly (very hard to do with 2 young children, but we tried our best) and looked and listened for our outdoor neighbors: feathered friends, winged insects, or other creepy crawlies. To call and attract the birds we used the Audubon Bird Call from Magic Cabin.
When we’d spot a feathered friend or insect, my boys took turns using the Optic Explorer from Magic Cabin to get a closer look. Of course, they used it to get a better look at everything: the trees, the leaves, birds, bugs, our dogs, rocks and dirt and of course each other. Ha!
Our backyard camp out was fun and restful; and the boys even learned a few things too.
More information about the featured items from Magic Cabin:
Camping Tent: This professional-looking tent morphs from folded to full-of-kids in a moment. Thanks to "one-touch" technology, you just lift it out of its carry bag, hold it up, shake it to snap it into shape, and let the pretend adventures begin! Included carry bag makes it a breeze to pack along to the beach, lake or campsite. Features include a waterproof poly oxford floor adds to its versatility, netting at the roof ensures good ventilation, and the durable, UV-treated, 30-SPF-coated polyester fabric adds extra protection from the sun's rays. For happy campers ages 3 and up.
Size: Approx. 48" x 48" x 36"
Audubon Bird Call: You can attract many birds with the Audubon Bird Call, a little birchwood and pewter device that chirps and twitters - imitating several birdcalls - when you twist it. Easy to tuck in a pocket or backpack, or carry around your neck on a string. Handcrafted in New England. For ages 5 and up.
Optic Explorer: Young explorers can carry this 2-in-1 telescope/microscope in their pockets or backpacks for up-close viewing of bugs, birds, rocks, leaves and other natural (or man-made) treasures.Perfect for school field trips, camping, hiking or backyard explorations. 12x microscope extends to become a 7x telescope. Contains an 18mm object lens.Colors will vary, Blue or Red we will choose for you. For ages 8 and up.
Marshmallow Tree: Whether they're roughing it in the woods or merely pretend-camping in the backyard, kids will love our 10-prong Marshmallow Tree. It's made from non-stick coated steel wire that's bent and turned to look like the branches of a tree, and has a rosewood-stained, tapered wood handle
