Want to get the kids outside and exploring? This Great Adventure Kit is just the ticket! It has a messenger tote bag, compass, whistle key chain with temperature gauge, a journal and colored pencils. This is great for going to the park, on a hike or even just in the backyard! Recommended for ages 5-7. www.orvis.com
Motorola Talkabout T600 H20
Being fit as a family isn't all about workout equipment. When my family goes camping, we are often hiking or kayaking and need a way to communicate with each other, especially with young kids. These two-way radios are complete with NOAA weather updates and alerts, are completely waterproof and they float. (A bonus for young kids to love to drop things!) Check them out here.
One World Futbol
Our dog bites holes in all of our balls. When I heard that this ball never needs air and never deflates, I just had to see it for myself. The One World Futbol from One World Play Project doesn't just give a gift to your loved one, it also gives to children in remote, impoverished communities around the world. Using a buy-one-give-one model, when you buy a One World Futbol for someone on your gift list, you also give to a child in need. It's win-win for everyone! www.oneworldplayproject.com
Snurfer Classic Racer
We live in Cleveland which means we get to have a lot of fun in the snow. We go sledding but we have never had anything like this Snurfer Classic Racer from Orvis. Designed just like the toy from the 1960s, it is made out of North American maple and only needs a dusting of snow to be used. We can't wait to use it! This would be a fun gift for the whole family this holiday season. www.orvis.com
York Nordic Bamboo & Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles
Raise your hand if your kid likes a good hiking stick. Yeah? Mine too! These York Nordic Bamboo & Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles aren't made with kids in mind, but they sure would work! They are beautifully constructed, ultra light, can be extended to fit someone 6'5" tall, shrink down to 24" for storage, and come in many different colors. A wonderful gift for an active family! store.yorknordic.com
