Searching for unique Christmas gifts for kids this year? Tired of giving kids the plastic toys that don’t last? Check out these Christmas gifts for kids that will get them outside, active, and if you’re lucky, interested in gardening.
Can O Worms Round Vermicomposter
Kids love worms! If you need an inside winter project, this would make a great Christmas gift for kids. Get their hands dirty! Kids love that, and in the meantime teach them a science lesson on the benefits of healthy soil. This worm composter is can be used inside or outside. It’s $139.99, and even makes a great family gift. Appropriate for kids of all ages.
Don’t forget your red compost worms.
Recycled Horse Tire Swing
This horse recycled tire swing rocks. Ours is hanging from our oak tree in the front yard, and kids flock to it! It’s secure for young kids, but still durable and sturdy for older kids.
It isn’t your typical tire swing. Kids can be active outside with this swing, and use their imaginations. Ours constantly has a lead tied to it, and the kids pretend to feed it. It’s only $89.99, and you can personalize the horse tire swing by choosing the color of ropes used for its hair—brown, pink, purple, or red, white, and blue.
Hummingbird, Butterfly, and Wildflower Seeds
You wouldn’t think kids could get so thrilled about seeds, but they do. Check out our hummingbird garden seeds for $14.99, butterfly shaker can seeds for $9.99, and wildflower shaker can seeds for $9.99. They’re cheap, and make a great activity come spring.
To some kids, new packs of seeds are more exciting than a new pack of bubble gum. Try it, and see! The shaker can seeds are easy to disperse for kids. They love the bright colors of the flowers, and the chance to attract hummingbirds and butterflies to the yard. Great for all ages.
Kids Gardening Set
Check out this kids gardening set. This would make a great Christmas gift for kids, and is a hands on way to get kids ages five years and up interested in gardening.
It’s only $24.99, and comes with three planting pots, a peapod shaped planter to hold them, a trowel, soil, and three packets of organic seeds (sunflower, zinnia, and basil). Oh, and it comes with instructions, too, if you need them. It’s a great project for a sunlit windowsill, and adults should help with this project. Kids are famous for sticking seeds up their nose or in their ears. What’s up with that?
Tickle Me Plant
Here’s another great Christmas gift to get kids active in science and gardening. This kids gardening project and greenhouse is great for kids of all ages, even for the whole family. It’s only $19.99, and comes with flower pots, soil pellets, reusable greenhouse, instructions, and two packets of Tickle Me Plant seeds. Tickle Me Plants respond to touch. They close up when touched and at nightfall. The response and movement of the plant keeps the kids interested, so it makes a great starter plant for kids.
