Gifts For Kids Who Love Animals
It seemed natural to start close to home…well, work… since a very big part of National Wildlife Federation’s mission is to connect children with nature and one of the main ways kids connect with something is by having fun. NWF has a variety of things that are designed to appeal to children that like nature and wildlife.
To help with last minute shopping, some of these gift options are immediate downloads or are delivered over the course of a year like this first one…

Your symbolic adoption helps protect the wildlife your kids love and lets them bring home their favorite species as a poster and plush toy (the actual animals stay in the wild where they’re happiest). A wide variety of species from alligators to whales are available for adoption, and each adoption kit supports National Wildlife Federation’s work to help ensure wild animals and wild places stick around for future generations.

Kids can tag along with Ricky Raccoon to learn about bears in the Alaskan wilderness, be star nature photographers, and explore Ranger Rick’s treehouse, to name just a few of the fun options. The apps feature nature and wildlife themed games, comics, articles, mysteries and more. It’s screen time designed to increase children’s creativity and inspire their sense of outdoor adventure even while staying indoors.
