These stocking stuffers are great for all ages and range from different levels of outdoorsy.
Go Find It
Go Find It is an outdoor scavenger hunt that you can use over and over again (inside and outside) and each time you play it, it turns out differently. You choose a card and it tells you to find an object that matches that description. It's great for any age and you can even challenge your older kiddos by having them pick more than one card to match an object.
There is a second set: Go Find It Too. It is essentially the same concept, just with different cards.
Ultimate Survival Guide for Kids
We got the Ultimate Survival Guide for Kids for my son when he was six during his "survivalist" phase. This was filled with useful information for any outdoorsman! Even though it says for kids, my husband and I found it very interesting. The info graphics are very appealing and with the chunked text it makes for an easy and engaging read.
They also have an Ultimate Explorer's Guide for Kids.
Pocket Microscope
This pocket microscope is perfect for any insect lover out there! It fits easily in your hand (and pocket) and has a light to help you see better in the dirt. The zoom on this thing is amazing! Check out the photos in the reviews to see what I mean.
Walkie Talkies
Walkie talkies are perfect for your littles who don't have phones or when you're out in the woods exploring.
Shatterproof Magnifying Glass
This magnifying glass is legit. It's got some heft to it but it has been put through the test at our house and it's still in great condition!
Binoculars
Every young wilderness explorer needs binoculars! We have these and as far as binoculars go, they're pretty great. Very sturdy, they fold up nicely, and have a compass. I don't know much about binoculars but that's all I really need them to do. LOL
OFF! Botanical Insect Repellent
This! I know Off seems like a silly thing to put in a stocking but it is fast becoming one of my favorite things. My kiddos love to be outside at all times of the day and in Florida, at some point, we're running into mosquitos. This is a plant based lotion that is NOT greasy, DOESN'T smell, and WORKS! We hiked through a swampy trail for three hours and never got bit once. Miracle lotion I tell ya!
It also comes in a deet-free spray but I haven't tried that one yet.
Spot It! Camping
We love playing Spot It! It's a game for all ages and small enough to throw in your purse and bust out during down time. They have tons of different themes/versions as well!
Solar Power Charger Bank
My husband uses his Solar Powered Charger every time he goes camping. He loves that thing! Most of them have flashlights and multiple USB/charging ports on them but different brands have different bells and whistles.
Survival Bracelet
These survival bracelets are so cool! It comes two to a pack and they each have an SOS LED Flashlight, compass, rescue whistle, and fire starter. We gave one to my son when he was six and showed him how to use everything properly.
Sprout Pencils
These cool Sprout Pencils are able to be planted when you are finished with them! How cool to use these and then get some fresh basil out of is?!
Backyard Adventure Journal
You don't have to be a survivalist or boy scout to enjoy the outdoors! This fun little sketch book is perfect for young ones to do as a scavenger hunt around their backyard.
National Geographic Magazine Subscription
I love giving magazine subscriptions as gifts. They're perfect for people who already have everything! There are a couple different nature magazines that I love for all different ages:
National Geographic Kids (7+)
Nat Geo Little Kids (4-6)
Ranger Rick (7+)
Ranger Rick Jr. (4-6)
Ranger Rick Cub (1-3)
Zoobooks (5+)
Bear Grylls Adventures
Bear Grylls is this ultimate survivalist and he writes a wonderful series of books for kids - fiction and non-fiction, but I really love the fiction series (I think there are about 12 in total)! Perfect size for a stocking stuffer!
