As my children grow older
There Christmas wish lists are getting smaller
And much more specific
William
William is all about being outside
Top of his list is this Forest School Den Kit
From The Den Kit Co
He wants to make dens and hideouts in the garden
He has also asked for a fire starting set
And we love the look of this Fire On A Plate Kit
William would like a Swiss Army Knife for Christmas
I have found this Climber Knife that I think might fit the bill
He has also asked for camouflage clothing
Next has some great bits including this zip through hoodie
I have found a really cute My First Adventure Kit
That would make a great stocking filler for any young adventurers
William has a tobacco tin on his Christmas list
Like this survival tin
He also wants a wire saw!!
Lots of these ideas are coming from one of his favourite books
It is a wonderful book and his inspired William to spend hours outside
Adventuring, exploring and being in nature
Esther also loves being outside
But she is all about nature and art
Esther also wants a den kit
She wants to set up a laboratory and an art studio in the garden
She has a beautiful easel that she was given for her birthday
It can be taken outside on her adventures
The den kit that Esther likes is a Cottage Garden Den Kit
I love the look of this as it has pastel bunting and
Comes in a beautiful blue satchel
It would allow Esther to set up her art and nature studies den
Esther would love a potion making kit
And I have also spotted a natural dye art kit which I am certain Esther would love
Esther has also asked for a whittling kit
I have found this children’s whittling set that comes with a book of inspiration and ideas
I can just imagine Esther outside in her den
Carving wooden animals
Esther get lots of her ideas and inspirations from a Lonely Planet Kids book
Called Wild Things
Bea is also an outdoor girl
She loves making things using materials from the garden
She has asked for some woodwork tools for Christmas
So that she can make fairy doors and little houses
We have seen the perfect Haba children’s tools
Haba also have a mini multifunctional vice
But I cannot find it in stock anywhere
That brings us to our youngest adventurer
When Edie is outside she is ALL about the mud kitchen!
I think she would love these coloured potion bottles from TTS
These giant potion bottles look magical too
She would also love these metal cans and tubs
For her messy imaginative play
I also think these giant teapots would be great fun
So many ways to play and explore with these playful learning resources
I am all for any gifts that will encourage the children to be outside
Engaging in active and imaginative play in nature
Do you have a curious little explorer at home?
A creative adventurer
What are they asking Father Christmas for this year?
