That means it&#8217;s already time for this year&#8217;s list of outdoor gift ideas for kids! Because if you&#8217;re anything like me, you might be a bit weary of adding even <em>more<\/em> indoor toys to your kids already overflowing stash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean, how many more toys do I have to buy these munchkins that they&#8217;ll barely ever play with? Seriously, they seem perfectly content playing with our Amazon boxes that come in the mail. So when it comes to thinking of gift ideas, I&#8217;ve developed a few guidelines to help me choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4frYD7p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC02080.jpg\" alt=\"close up of exploring nature book\" class=\"wp-image-3922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC02080.jpg 887w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC02080-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC02080-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC02080-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I want <strong>gifts that promote getting outdoors<\/strong>! There is plenty of data (and some common sense) to suggest that <a aria-label=\"playing outside is hugely beneficial for children (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miracle-recreation.com\/blog\/why-should-my-child-play-outside-benefits-of-outdoor-play-for-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">playing outside is hugely beneficial for children<\/a>. Which is why I&#8217;ll do whatever I can to help my little ones in that direction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also want outdoor gift ideas<strong> that promote activity and movement<\/strong> while they&#8217;re outside. I look for items that make it easy for them to run, climb, swing, etc. without me necessarily needing to be involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-4.png 887w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-4-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-4-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-4-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other great outdoor gift ideas are those that <strong>promote outdoor hobbies<\/strong>. For example, bird watching, archery, rock collecting, kayaking, and so on. Anything that can help develop a newfound interest to pursue while outdoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, and my favorite of all outdoor gift ideas, are <strong>gifts that promote experiences<\/strong>. These are usually bigger investments, but they can be purchased as a gift for the whole family to share! For example, family passes to a historic village or botanical garden, rock climbing, winter sports park, or even a family trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4fdzptR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-1.png 887w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-1-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some more options that promote experiences and togetherness would be camping and outdoor gear like a fire pit, tent, kayak, or paddle board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best part is that <strong>these gifts keep on giving year-round and will help you create special family memories together! <\/strong>With all that said, here are my top picks for THE BEST outdoor gift ideas for kids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature Exploration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nature exploration gifts are some of the most engaging <strong>outdoor gift ideas<\/strong> you can choose for kids, because they encourage curiosity, hands-on learning, and independent discovery.

Even my 17 month old spends hours in our little mud play area of the garden creating mud pies and soups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qINSE9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ninja Warrior Ropes Course<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest, my husband and I want <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CePNeY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this slack line kit<\/a> for ourselves as much as we want it for our kids. Although it would be hugely beneficial for their gross motor development and helping them stay active while we&#8217;re out in our yard! This is something that&#8217;s currently lacking in our outdoor space and we definitely plan on adding in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43SC5ct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Platform Ladder Swing<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A classic to add to your backyard trees or playset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4nGXtZB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balance Beam<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4olwu6G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairy Garden<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting to build our own fairy garden for the longest time, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4htvyud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this kit <\/a>would be the perfect starter!

First, it provides a project for kids where they get to build and paint something of their own!

If you&#8217;re looking for a way to entertain your kids right there in the driveway, this is a great solution! It&#8217;s also a fun way for your kids to zip around while on family walks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">24. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4omNE3h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nerf Football <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic for backyard games of catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">25. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyOBro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bow and Arrow<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Archery is one of those hobbies that stands the test of time. And, as an added bonus, cool movie characters who happen to be splendid archers continue to appear onscreen and inspire children to pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4fa4LBx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">bow and arrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure you lay down the law before handing these out willy nilly. I still distinctly remember being grazed on the ear by an arrow flung from the hand of my very own sibling. Take my word for it: even without a pointy tip, arrows can still inflict quite a bit of pain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">26. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwico.com\/us\/store\/dp\/fort-builder-kit-project-kit\/3828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort Building Kit<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My little guy absolutely LOVES building things. When we&#8217;re outside, he usually ends up taking sticks, pvc pipes, pool noodles, and pretty much anything he can get his hands on to build a fort. Instead of having to search for random pieces, a kit provides the pieces and connectors to make building a bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwico.com\/us\/store\/dp\/fort-builder-kit-project-kit\/3828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fort building kit<\/a> from KiwiCo is my favorite. We&#8217;ve tried a few different plastic ones from other companies, but this one is definitely the best! I love the sturdy wooden dowels and the flexible connecting pieces. We built some awesome forts in the backyard last summer that provided a place to play all day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC08664.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">27. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hFzxEh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Velcro Toss and Catch Ball<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3fkelDC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Remember these<\/a> from when you were a kid?

I&#8217;m a fan of anything that&#8217;s not a toy that my kids will use and love receiving. When our little guy was just two, we got him his first backpack and it was one of his favorite things! He was just so tickled to have &#8220;his very own backpack!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, we picked out <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ag7Elb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">this one<\/a> for our daughter.
