Kid’s Christmas Gift Guide
It’s nearly Christmas and I have once again rounded up some fabulous natural, eco-friendly, ethical (and a little bit educational) gifts for kids.
♥ Twigz Wheelbarrow
This super cute wheelbarrow will be heaps of fun for the kids in the garden or sandpit. It’s ergonomically designed specifically for children, so they are super sturdy and virtually impossible to tip over. Designed in Australia, the tray and legs are made of powder coated steel, the subframe is made of timber and the wheels are made of solid hard plastic.
You can get them online at Gardening 4 Kids. 
♥ Finska Game
Finska is a super fun and addictive backyard tossing game for all ages based on the ancient log throwing games from Finland. Players use cunning, strategy and skill to navigate clever twists and be the first to score 50 points. So it’s also a little bit educational. But ssshhh! they will never know!
Finska is the brainchild of two Sydney dads who love the outdoors and playing games and think their game is “a fabulous antidote to the antisocial electronic gizmos that keep kids indoors and it wasn’t something for just kids as well.” This will be fabulous fun for some outdoor time after Christmas dinner!

♥ Green Toys Sand Play Set
You know I love anything recycled and eco-friendly and I am so excited about this company. Green Toys makes a line of classic children’s toys constructed from 100% recycled plastic! Their toys meet US and international toy safety standards, and contain no BPA, PVC or phthalates.
Take this sand play set to the beach or use it in the sandpit – you get the bucket, sand mould, rake and shovel. A brilliant gift for eco-kids!

♥ Magnetic Build a Pic Carry Case
I love that this is a portable toy – how handy for the car or waiting for appointments! The case is a hinged wooden box with magnetic interior and rope handle. It comes with over 50 magnetic pieces and 8 picture guides to get you started. Kids can either use the picture guides to create the designs, or make up their own. There are so many educational aspects to this activity!
Get it online from Freestyle Kids.
♥ Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
For the mini-chefs in the family! My kids love making their own ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt in our Cuisinart. It’s really easy to do. Just whizz up your ingredients and pour them in and 20 minutes later, you have a frozen treat. It’s so cheap to make gourmet ice cream and better still, you can make it suitable for your dietary requirements. There are no nasty fillers or msg in homemade ice cream!

♥ iBark bamboo phone case
For the older kids (actually I wouldn’t mind one too) – a funky and eco-friendly phone case! The art works are from Australian artists and the case is engraved in Byron Bay NSW. The case is crafted from 5 layers and 78 individual pieces of bamboo. It’s light weight and lined internally with felt to ensure no scratching and a secure friction fit.
Stocking Stuffers:
With a bit of hunting around, I was able to find a lot of cute little gifts that won’t break the bank but will still be fun and useful. Our kids also like a few sweet treats in their stockings at Christmas time, because it does qualify as a special occasion! Check out these ideas.
♥ Gingerbread Family
A no-nasties treat for the kids. Gingerbread Folk products are made with the finest pure ingredients and decorated with a unique egg-free icing. The packaging is eco-friendly and these all natural cookies contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
The box contains a ginger mum, dad, two kids, pet dog & cat. Gingerbread Folk also make gluten-free products too. They are really delicious! Get them online at the website.
♥Banjo the Carob Bear
A great treat for kids with special dietary needs. It’s gluten-free, caffeine-free, theobromine-free and contains no added sugar. Carob Kitchen produce ethical products and contain no palm kernel oils.
Get it online from Organics on a Budget.
So, there you have it, that is my round-up of kid’s christmas gifts for this year!!
I hope you find something that will make your shopping that little bit easier.

I’d LOVE to win the Finska!! What a great way to encourage the whole family to be outside having fun together!

Thanks for the opportunity!
My 7 year old (gdd, epilepsy) only enjoys playing outside, gardening and specially pushing things around!! We would love to win that beautiful wheelbarrow. And I would be overjoyed to see his face light up…

Wow! lovely assortment of great gifts. My boys would love the icecream maker, making your own is a much healthier option.
So many wonderful prizes but the sandpit toys look fabulous, and would be perfect for my little girls as we just got them a sandpit 🙂
Wheelbarrow, for that little helper who has taken a keen interest in gardening like Mum and Dad.
I’d love to win the wheelbarrow. The little one could then help me even more in the veggie patch. Imagine bringing home the harvest in that little gem. We could even take it down to grandpa’s farm and help out there to!
Love the blog… Love the ideas!
The Finska game would be a wonderful addition to Nana’s range of educational but fun games for my 3 grandsons, and the perfect lure away from those darn computer screens!

I have a sweet little avid gardener at home. At 5 yrs old gardening is such a joy to her. She took great delight in winning best childrens garden for the council’s spring garden competition the other week.
A wheelbarrow she does not have and the delight on her face to receive one, it would be like all her Christmases coming at once
I’d love to win all three! We’ve just moved, put most of our stuff in storage and will be moving again hopefully within the next month or two (and may even end up homeless for a while!)… needless to say we culled A LOT of old/broken/unused toys. Many went to charities, and it was a great philanthropic lesson for the boys, and just as many broken ones into the bin. Most of the gardening and outdoor stuff went in the bin, so to refill our stocks with the wheelbarrow or sand play toys would be awesome!
i would love to win Twigz Wheelbarrow from Gardening 4 Kids…

Some great gift ideas here – my boys would love it if I won the Finska game for them 🙂

We are going to the beach for 2 weeks at Christmas & this would be great for Miss 5 & Mstr 1.8 to play with

Master 2 is always trying to “push” daddy’s wheelbarrow, the only way he can push it, is buy holding the black tub, so it just kind of scapes along the ground. It is rather funny to watch. He would really love one of his own, I can just see his little face when it “works” like daddys.
My 2 big boys would love the Fiska game, they are always outside playing and looking for other game ideas, this is perfect.

Weeding and planting alone is no fun!
Having my little one there with a wheelbarrow in tow,

Gardening is a pleasure when flowers start to bloom and vegetables are ready to eat. Children should be taught to grown things from a very early age to get them interested and to see nature at it’s very best.

I love the idea of an authentic wheelbarrow, it looks fabulous and looks like it will last over the years.
I would be thrilled to win any of the gifts, but the Finska game would be my first pick. I love the simplicity of it. Looks like fun and is the perfect game to pack for weekend getaway’s to the beach ect. My 17 mth old loves to be outside and I am always looking at new toys and games to keep her enjoying the outdoors. Thank you!

I’ve never heard of ‘Finska’, so that would be an interesting win. Thank you for bringing ‘Finska’ to my attention 🙂
Using brains, strategy and skill the FINKAS game is perfect for the kids while the summer barbecues are sizzling. Just hope its not addictive for adults too as the sausages will never get cooked.
My boys would love the wheelbarrow! There is a pile of ‘free mulch’ up the road. Now this could be handy!
The Finska game sounds great. We love totem tennis, coits, kid-friendly darts and this game sounds interesting. Pick me!
Love the sandplay set. With three boys and a forgetful mother, we always leave stuff behind at the beach. This one is too good to leave the house though. Perfect for the backyard.
I have a friend who has a farm and looks after their niece every weekend as she is raised by a single dad. I would love her to be able to ‘help out’ in a child friendly way….inclusion is what she is missing in life
I want to win the wheelbarrow. We have too may kids to share the one we have

Just got the kids a worm farm and as part of them starting school banking they get a couple $$$ each week if they help look after the worm farm and weed. Currently using tonka truck to cart weeds to bin so a cool wheelbarrow will make it even more exciting for the little ones. 1. They learning about money, 2. Recycling. 3. Gardening all from a few simple changes at home and doing it in a fun way
Magnetic Build case would be great in the car for my 2 & half yr old son.
