As a parent you constantly find yourself in the cycle of gift giving, whether it be for your own children or for family and friends. At the beginning its all fine and good as you choose random gifts here and there, but after a while if your anything like me, you start to get a bit bored of the same old gifts and find the need to search out something a bit different and a little bit more inspiring.
All kids love nature right? any excuse to get out there and get their hands dirty. My little boy just loves investigating outdoors, whether he is collecting conkers, identifying bugs or learning about the planet through non fiction kids books. I would love to share with you and give you some inspiration in choosing gifts for kids who love nature.
Gifts for kids who love Nature
Binoculars
Children are naturally curious, and their innate love for nature is a treasure. Whether it’s birdwatching, exploring the local park, or going on a hiking adventure, a pair of binoculars can enhance their experiences in countless ways.
Binoculars offer kids a new perspective on the world. They can zoom in on the details of a flower, identify different species of birds, or watch the movements of squirrels high in the trees.
Help to encourage outdoors play by gifting a pair of Binoculars, put the devices away and get them outdoors in nature.
Wild Road Tried and Tested: We actually have these Binoculars at home and they are pretty great for a first pair. They are robust and sturdy and comfortable around the eye area.
Bug Bungalow
Bug bungalows encourage kids to get up close and personal with insects. They can watch their behaviors, observe them closely, and learn about their lives in a controlled environment.
A bug bungalow is not just a gift; it’s a gateway to a world of exploration, learning, and appreciation for the incredible diversity of insects in our environment. It fosters a connection with nature, encourages outdoor play, and helps children become young entomologists.
Wild Road Tried and Tested: This Bug Bungalow is perfect for little hands. It has an easy to open door and you can be confident that the little critters have plenty of space and air to breathe.

Excavate incredible, real fossils using the included tools of the trade: a chisel, brush, and magnifying glass. This kit makes an excellent STEM gift for boys and girls!
The Mega Fossil Mine dig includes archeological tools and a digging site filled with 15 genuine fossil treasures just waiting to be unearthed. Each of these real fossils are millions of years old! Identify each one and learn about their formation with our fascinating and detailed learning guide.
Wild Road tip: This product has fab reviews and just might need to go on my shopping list!
Worm World
Worm World provides a great opportunity for children to learn more about worms’ importance in our ecosystem. Children are encouraged to collect their own worms and told how to in the 20-page activity guide, written by naturalist Nick Baker.
Layer the tank with soil and sand, then watch the worms mix up the different coloured layers in their chamber over time. Add leaves to the top for them to feed on!
Botanical Press
This lovely wooden flower press is not only plastic-free, but it also provides hours of fun for little ones who love to create. Teaching our children about crafting, process and new ideas opens their eyes to new ideas and hobbies.
The two wood presses are filled with paper sheets and little metal screws at each corner so that you are able to tightly press the pages together. Filling your pages with flowers and leaves is a great garden hunt activity, and after a couple of weeks being tucked away in their pages, you can open the press back up to reveal beautiful flat delicate dried flowers, ready to use in any arts and crafts activity.
Build-Your-Own Wooden Toy Birdhouse
Build Your Own Wooden Birdhouse: This easy-to-assemble wooden birdhouse includes 10 wooden panels, screws, 4 pots of paint, and a paintbrush to add unique, personal touches to create a home-tweet-home.
Little kids will love the fact that they actually have to use real screws and build this before they even start to decorate it. Also a great idea for gifting to family/friends after it has been decorated.
Play Kids’ Outdoor Dome Tent
The Kids Play Dome Tent is large enough to accommodate three or more children, toys and children sized furniture and can be used indoors or outdoors.
