Looking for a fun and creative activity for children who love the outdoors? Our Campers Washed Border Pages are a wonderful way to encourage creativity while helping little learners practise fine motor skills. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or homeschooler, these printable pages are easy to download and perfect for children of all ages.
Each page features a unique camping-themed watercolour design. Some are simple for younger children, while others include detailed pine trees, glowing lanterns, cosy tents, toadstools, and woodland critters that make decorating and journalling even more enjoyable. Also, every page has a generous open centre area, so children can write, draw, or display their own art inside the beautiful borders.
Why Children Love These Campers Washed Border Pages
Camping scenes bring the magic of the outdoors right to the table. Children can use these pages with crayons, coloured pencils, markers, or watercolour paints to bring the nature details to life. For example, they might colour the glowing lanterns amber, paint the pine trees deep green, or add their own little animals to the open spaces. Therefore, each page becomes a personalised creative keepsake.
These pages are also ideal for:
- Preschool activities
- Kindergarten classrooms
- Homeschool lessons
- Art centres
- Rainy day activities
- Quiet time
- Early finishers
- Creative play
- Journalling and letter writing
- Nature studies and outdoor unit studies

Camping Tent with Lantern, Stars, Sun and Moon
This page captures the full day-to-night camping experience. A canvas tent sits in the bottom-right corner with a glowing brass camp lantern and a green pillow at the entrance. Tall dark pine trees and distant mountains frame the right side. A golden sun shines from the top-left, while a crescent moon and scattered gold stars drift across the top-right. Soft sage leaves and botanical sprigs complete the border. Children will enjoy colouring in each individual star and choosing colours for the lantern glow.
Campfire with Marshmallow on Stick and Enamel Mug
Pine branches heavy with pinecones sweep across the top of this page. In the bottom-right corner, an open campfire with orange flames toasts a single marshmallow on a long stick. A speckled green enamel mug sits on rounded rocks beside the fire. Misty pine trees rise on the left side. The aged parchment background adds a warm, nostalgic feel. This page works especially well for campfire stories and creative writing prompts.
Forest Mushrooms with Smiling Sun and Cloud
Two clusters of red-spotted toadstools nestle at the base of tall pine trees in both the top-left and bottom-left corners. A smiling round sun peeks cheerfully from behind a soft grey-blue cloud in the top-right. The layout leaves the centre and right side completely open. Because the sun has an expressive face, younger children find this page particularly charming. However, older children also appreciate the detailed pine trees and the variety of mushroom sizes.
Camp Lantern and Enamel Mug with Wildflower Full-Border Page
Slender pine branches and dried botanical sprigs create an elegant oval frame around a spacious writing area. In the bottom-left, a large glowing brass oil lantern sits beside a speckled grey-green enamel mug on a plaid camp blanket. Small pinecones and rocks surround the objects. The full enclosed border makes this one of the most versatile pages in the collection. In addition, the muted sand and sage palette is easy to colour or leave as a sophisticated black-and-white print.
Canvas Tent with Stacked Logs and Berry Border
A tipi-style canvas tent with crossed wooden poles dominates the bottom-left corner. A small green camp lantern hangs inside the tent opening, and a pink pillow rests on a plaid rug in front. A neat stack of cut firewood logs sits beside the tent. The border features delicate pine needle sprigs, soft rose-pink berries, autumn-toned leaves, and pinecones. For example, the berry sprigs add a pretty detail that gives this page a glamping rather than roughing-it feel.
Forest Fern and Mushroom with Pine Trees
Golden-brown dried fern fronds wrap around the left, top, and bottom borders of this page, with a single pinecone in the top-right corner. The right side features a misty cluster of tall dark pine trees with several large flat-capped tan mushrooms and one bold red-capped toadstool at their base. The earthy warm palette of forest green, tan, and russet makes this design feel grounded and naturalistic. Therefore, it works well for autumn-themed classroom activities.
Green Camp Lantern with Wildflowers and Botanical Border
A delicate full border of lavender bell flowers, white daisies, eucalyptus leaves, thin fern fronds, and pinecones wraps around this page. In the bottom-left, a large moss-green camp lantern glows with a warm amber light. Two brown pinecones and a folded linen cloth sit beneath the lantern. The soft lavender, sage, and white palette is more feminine and floral than the other pages. Also, the lantern's green colour is a distinctive detail that sets it apart from the brass lanterns in the collection.
A-Frame Tent with Potted Pine and Wildflower Border
White and pale-green wildflowers, wispy grass stems, and fern fronds form a loose, airy border on this page. At the bottom-centre, a cream canvas A-frame tent stands beside a young pine sapling growing in a terracotta pot. The pale, translucent green watercolour washes in the background give this page a fresh, spring-morning feel. Because the border is light and open rather than dense, this design suits children who prefer more negative space for their own drawings.
Enamel Mug with Mushrooms and Fern Woodland Border
A rich full border of green ferns, pine sprigs, pinecones, and an assortment of mushrooms wraps all four sides of this page. In the bottom-left corner, a speckled grey-green enamel mug sits on a round wood slice coaster, with small wood rounds beside it. The border features tan flat-capped mushrooms, a bold red toadstool at the bottom-centre, and brown-capped varieties on the right. As a result, this page has the most detailed border in the collection, making it rewarding to colour one element at a time.
Brass Lantern with Marshmallows and Heart Accents
Slender bare twigs, tiny pine sprigs, and small scattered golden-brown hearts form the delicate border of this page. In the bottom-right corner, a large vintage brass oil lantern glows with a warm amber candle flame. Three large marshmallows on a wooden roasting stick rest beside the lantern on a plaid blanket. The tiny heart accents throughout the border add a sweet, romantic camping touch. However, the neutral warm palette of sand and soft green keeps the design from feeling overly themed.
Camping Tent with Backpack and Lantern Fern Border
This page features the most gear of any design in the collection. On the lower-left, a canvas tent stands open with rope guy-lines, a small hanging lantern inside, two pillows, a rolled red plaid blanket, and a green hiking backpack resting outside. On the lower-right, a large glowing pewter-grey vintage lantern rises from a bed of pine ferns, pinecones, and fallen leaves. Pine branch clusters with pinecones top the page. Therefore, this design makes a great starting point for adventure stories and camping journals.
Pine Forest Panorama with Clouds
A sweeping panoramic row of tall dark green pine trees, ranging from short to very tall, stretches across the entire bottom of this page. Small red mushrooms, pinecones, and wildflower accents peek from among the tree bases. At the top, two soft grey-blue watercolour clouds float among mixed fern fronds in green and russet. The right side has two lone mushroom silhouettes floating in the open space. As a result, this page has the most open and airy feel of any in the collection, with a wide clear writing space in the centre.
Colourful Stacked Mushrooms with Fern and Pine Border
The standout feature of this page is a tall vertical stack of large mushrooms on the right side: a red-capped toadstool at the top, two more red-capped varieties mid-right, a distinctive blue-capped mushroom below them, and smaller tan mushrooms at the base. Blue berries and pinecones accent the right side further. The left and bottom borders are softer, with green ferns and pine sprigs. Also, the vivid red and blue mushroom colours make this one of the most colourful designs in the set.
Two Birds on Lantern with Mushrooms and Woodland Border
Two small chickadee-like birds perch together on a glowing vintage lantern that rests on a tree stump in the bottom-right corner. Additional red-capped toadstools cluster at the base of the stump and along the bottom-left. The border on all sides blends green and tan fern fronds, white wildflower sprigs, pine branches, and leafy twigs. A large tree trunk appears in sage-grey on the right side. In addition, the two birds add a charming wildlife detail that makes this page feel especially alive.
Brass Lantern with Candles and Pinecones on Wood Tray
Dried golden-tan fern fronds, soft green pine sprigs, and clusters of brown pinecones form a warm autumn border with aged, stained edges. In the bottom-left corner, a tall brass-gold lantern with a lit flame stands beside two cream pillar candles on a round wooden tray. Several pinecones surround the display, and a tiny snail detail sits at the base. A folded linen cloth drapes nearby. Finally, the warm amber, gold, and pale sage palette gives this page a cosy cabin-evening atmosphere.
Cabin Window with Enamel Mug, Ferns, and Mushrooms
A wooden cabin window frame on the left side reveals a view of pine trees outside. A long weeping pine branch cascades down from the top of the window frame. At the bottom-left, a cream enamel mug with a painted pinecone motif sits on the wooden window ledge. The right border features tall slender pine sprigs and fern fronds, with a small cluster of three delicate tan mushrooms in a nest of moss at the bottom-right. Similarly to the other pages, the open cream centre invites journalling, artwork, or handwriting practice.

Printing Tips for Best Results
- Use white cardstock at 80–100 lb weight. Cardstock holds colour better than regular printer paper. It also prevents bleed-through when children use markers or paint.
- Print at 100% scale, no page scaling. Select "Actual size" or "100%" in your printer settings. This ensures the border fills the page correctly and the writing area stays centred.
- Choose the highest print quality your printer allows. The fine watercolour details, like the twig borders and mushroom textures, print most clearly at the "Best" or "High" quality setting.
- Use a colour inkjet printer for the best watercolour effect. The soft washes and gradient tones in these designs reproduce most beautifully in colour. However, they also print attractively in black and white for a classic line-art look.
- Laminate pages for reusable dry-erase writing frames. Print on cardstock, then laminate each page. Children can then write or draw on them with dry-erase markers and wipe clean for repeated use.
- Print multiple copies for mixed-media projects. Children can cut out the border elements and use them for collage, scrapbooking, or greeting card making.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are these border pages?
Each page is designed for standard A4 size. They also print well on US Letter paper with minimal cropping at the top and bottom edges.
Can I use these pages in my classroom?
Yes, absolutely. These printable border pages are licensed for personal and single-classroom use. Therefore, you can print as many copies as you need for your own students, children, or homeschool group.
What paper works best for colouring on these pages?
For colouring pencils or crayons, regular 20 lb copy paper works fine. For markers or watercolour paints, we recommend 65–100 lb white cardstock to prevent bleed-through and buckling.
Do these print well in black and white?
Yes. The watercolour borders print cleanly in greyscale, showing clear line detail. They become lovely colouring pages in black and white, which also saves ink if colour printing is not available.
Can I resize these pages to fit different paper sizes?
The pages are designed for letter size, but you can scale them in your printer settings. For example, printing at 90% works well for A5 booklet inserts, and scaling up to 110–115% fills A4 paper more fully.
