I think that both of these are so fun. You can create a huge classroom tent or try this dollar tree table cloth tent alternative to decorate your class door.
What camping theme would be complete without a fake fire for the classroom? This one is made from rocks, twigs and tissue that I think could stand up to the classroom test.
