Kids Green & Outdoor Gifts

By Susan Sothersby

If you are looking for unique ideas for kids gifts you may want to consider green or outdoor kids gifts. These types of gifts have a more thoughtful feel than many other gifts and they can help encourage learning.

With the push for green products there have been a great variety of green kids toys popping up. These toys make great and unique gift ideas and you're able to feel even better about giving them.

If the child you're buying the gift for likes to color consider recycled crayons from Crazy Crayons. This company takes crayon stubs and melts them down so they can make new crayons. The new crayons are poured into molds to create crayons with fun and different shapes. Staying on theme with the green idea they package these crayons with recycled materials nicely finished with a grass ribbon.

Help teach your child good habits with a Preserve Endangered Species Toothbrush from Recycline. This toothbrush will help make brushing more fun, but it will also help teach about wildlife conservation, wildlife and recycling. A portion of each sale is donated to the National Wildlife Federation to help with the protection of endangered species, making the gift feel that much better.

For the child who loves to get involved in projects and make things a solar educational kit might be a good idea. These solar kits help teach the very basics of solar energy. They can actually make their own functioning solar device to help with things like charging batteries.

Sometimes outdoor gift ideas and green gift ideas for kids are one in the same like with Arbor skateboards and snowboards. These boards are made from farmed aspen and renewable bamboo and cork oak which helps to spare old-growth trees.

To encourage a kid to be more connected with their outdoor surroundings or to be more active you should consider an outdoor type gift. Playing outside keeps kids more active and it can inspire creativity, plus I always remember it being the most fun.

There are some basic gift ideas in this genre that may not be unique but they never go out of style. You can't go too wrong with things like rollerblades, a bike or a big wheel.

Another fun classic toy is a kite. One of the nice things about kites is that they come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, shapes and prices to fit any kid and any budget.

Hiking or camping gear can be another great way to encourage outdoor activity. It also provides an opportunity to start family camping trips -- a great way for the family to have fun together.

This may not sound like an outdoor inspired gift at first, but a digital kids watch can create hours of entertainment if it is the type with a timer function. The sporty ones have various functions that help them create all sorts of outdoor games.

It's fun to buy kids toys that inspire a little more thoughtfulness or activity. You'll also have fun shopping and picking from the great selection of kids toys available from the well-known basics to the new innovative options.
