Do your kids love the outdoors? Do they
rush straight to the skate park or the playing field after school instead of
home to glue themselves in front of a screen? Well, you're very fortunate.
Sadly, many children these days have grown up thinking that exercise means
operating their iPhones or gamepads for as long as possible. But if your kids
would rather kick a ball or fly a kite than gun down Latino gang members in the
latest installment of Grand Theft Auto, you can choose from a whole host of
healthy and engaging gifts that you won't feel guilty for giving.
For the Young Explorer
If your son or daughter fancies themselves
as the next bush tucker man or crocodile hunter, there are some great options
available to you. An outdoor explorer kit from Amazon or eBay will set them up
with a whole host of basic tools necessary to have fun in the wilderness; an
LED headlamp, magnifying glass, bug checklist and quality carry bag. Or if you
figure your child is ready to step into full-on adventurer mode, you may want
to up the ante with a set of professional binoculars
or maybe even a proper
compass so they can find their way through the forest or bush. Of course,
if you want to be a little more pragmatic, you can always get them some all
terrain clothing and a decent backpack. But you may like to indulge them with
something slightly more fun for the festive season!
Boards, Skates and Scooters
Is the skate park or beach your child's
second home? Or perhaps they're looking to take up a new hobby that is more
active than simply gluing themselves to the nearest computer, iPhone or TV
screen? If so, you have a plethora of potential gift ideas readily available in
store and online. Skateboarding and Surfing are two of the most popular outdoor
activities amongst kids today and have been for some time. Whether its long
boarding or short boarding, you'll find countless options available online. Or
if your son or daughter would rather stand out from the crowd, you might like
to get them some inline skates or even a scooter. These are both equally
healthy and fun alternatives that will keep your children both fit and
entertained for weeks, months or even years. Again, you can find these in
store, but you will almost definitely get a much better deal from an online
seller such as The Skate Hut.
The Lucky Minority
If your kids are into the outdoors and
physical activity, you are amongst the very fortunate minority as parents. And
accordingly, you should nurture your children's love of the outdoors with some
great gifts this Christmas.

ReplyDeleteAll great ideas for outdoors! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a kid pair of binoculars, and she loves them! Whenever we go bird watching, she uses them! She also likes to take them outside at our house and use them to spot all kinds of wildlife.
ReplyDeleteWe have 14 grandchildren & I feel we are very fortunate in that most of them would prefer to be outside playing rather than stuck in front of the tv or a video gaming device. Yes, they still ask for iPhones, iPads & iPods, but they prefer to be outside.
ReplyDeleteMy nieces and nephew are sooo outdoorsy - and they would love a new scooter-style toy. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat compass is cool! I may want one too! lol
ReplyDeleteThis is great for my step-son. You have to drag that boy in the house. Super idea with the compass.
ReplyDeleteKids these days don't know how great it is to get outside and enjoy nature anymore. Thanks for these ideas!
ReplyDeleteMy nephew is quite the little cowboy (not so little now, he is 13!), so I think a practical outdoor gift for him while he is riding the range would be perfect!
