Wild Gift Ideas for Your Wild Child

Whether you're shopping for your son, daughter, grandkid, niece or nephew...you want to find a fun and unique gift for the children in your life. 

Much research has been done that shows how our childrens’ wellness – physical, emotional, and spiritual, is in sharp decline. Long gone are the days of mud pies in the backyard - now so many kids just want to sit in front of a video game console.

Our kids’ addiction to technology and their lack of connection to nature is the major cause of obesity, depression, ADD, anxiety, and a declining happiness among our youth. Studies have shown that getting kids away from screens, and connected to nature again help! But when their Christmas list is full of the latest gadgets - what do you get them?

We've created an easy list of kids gift ideas for you! These gifts are timeless and have passed the strenuous testing that our child focus group put them through. Really...we tried these out! The kids love them!
