What’s Included in these Free Printable Camping Name Crafts
I created two complete name craft designs.
Printable S’more Name Craft
This sweet smiling s’more features:
- Graham cracker top and bottom
- Melted chocolate and marshmallow face
- Fun accordion-style body section
- One letter per section to spell the child’s name
The finished craft stretches longer as names get longer, creating a fun 3D effect.
Printable Campfire Name Craft
This cozy campfire craft includes:
- Pre-assembled campfire with flames and log
- Individual rock pieces with letters
- Rocks placed around the fire to spell the child’s name
Each rock becomes part of the campfire scene, making every finished craft unique.
Color and Black-and-White Versions
Both crafts include:
- Full-color templates ready to print and assemble
- Black-and-white templates for children to color themselves
The black-and-white versions are especially great for adding extra creativity and classroom ownership.
Bonus Marshmallow on a Stick
To make the campfire craft even more fun, I also included a cute marshmallow on a stick that children can add to their finished project. This little extra makes it look like they are roasting marshmallows over the fire, which adds an adorable camping touch.
Kids can:
- Glue the marshmallow near the flames
- Hold it over the campfire at an angle
- Color it in the black-and-white version
- Use it to spark imaginative play
This simple addition gives the craft more personality and makes the finished project feel like a real camping scene.
