One DIY that the whole family will love is a "chandelier" light for your tent using only 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/16" block magnets, string, glue, and a flashlight.  All you have to do is glue one of the magnets to the string and the other to the bottom of the flashlight. Then, while inside the tent, tie the string to the poles at the top of the tent. Now, you have a removable light hanging inside your tent. You can turn on the flashlight and hold it up to the magnet attached to the string so it hangs above you.
