Original Den Kit – build a den outdoors
I love these den kits for encouraging kids to get outdoors and build dens. You can use them in the garden, whilst camping or in the woods.
The kit contains everything they need to build a den. Contents include tarp, groundsheet, tent pegs and more.

Hide and seek periscope
This periscope is a great gift for outdoorsy kids. Perfect for taking on a family walk or camping trip. A periscope allows them to see over walls or from behind a tree, hopefully without being seen. Perfect for a future spy!

Junior gardening kit
Let’s get kids in the garden, growing their own plants. It’s a great way to get kids outdoors and also to teach them about how things grow and even where their food comes from. You might find my guide to Starting gardening with children useful.
This set is the perfect introduction to gardening for kids set and is perfect for children from aged 3. It includes a metal trowel, fork and bucket, a pair of gardening gloves (child size) and a couple of cute plant markers, all in a handy carry bag.

Waboba LED Flyer
Kids will love this toy and seeing how long they can keep it off the ground. It can be thrown, kicked or hit and every touch lights it up. This toy is great for practicing hand-eye coordination in a really fun way. Perfect for after-dark play so I’d definitely pack this one for your next camping trip.

Air Square
Air square is an incredible frisbee that will travel up to 100m. It is able to travel so far thanks to it’s aerodynamic design. It also features a soft and cushioned rubber rim for easy, safe catching and the bright colours make it look amazing as it soars through the air.

Smart Ball
If you’re buying for a football-mad child then a smart ball is the perfect gift. It lights up with every touch and keeps count of kicks so it is great for keepy uppy practice and challenges. It’s great for setting challenges for themselves or competing with friends. You can also remove the sensor and turn it into a normal football.

Jump rocket
My kids love jump rockets! They’re fantastic fun for kids of all ages. Who can send their rocket the highest? Simply jump on the launch pad. The harder you jump, the higher the rocket will go!
