There’s nothing better than choosing the perfect gift, especially for a special kid in your life. If you want to make their birthday or Christmas extra-special, choosing a gift curated just for them is essential. If you have a kid on your list who loves the outdoors—playing, camping, or just plain being outside—you need to find the perfect outdoor gift for kids! Our Experts have curated a list with tons of outdoor gift ideas for kids to make your shopping a little easier this year.

Strider doesn’t make your average bike! Whether they’re already getting comfortable on a bike or they’ve never tried one, Strider bikes are a great gift idea for kids who love the outdoors. From babies to big kids, Strider bikes are made for kids of all ages, so you can truly start them young. One of our top suggestions this year is the Strider 12" Sport Balance Bike made for riders ages 18 months to 5 years.

If you want to go big this year, there’s nothing that will wow a child more than seeing a trampoline show up on their birthday or Christmas morning. Our top choice this year is the Springfree Trampoline collection. The best part—with high, protective nets and an ultra-durable construction, Springfree trampolines can provide years of safe and active fun for the whole family.

When you gift X-Shot Blasters, the fun can start the moment they’re unwrapped and last all year long. With one Blaster, kids can work on their aim or plan sneak attacks! With multiple blasters, friends and family can join in the fun and transform the backyard into a battlefield. One of our favorites this season is the X-Shot Horror Fire Doomsday Dread Hammer for its 48-dart capacity and auto-rotating barrel.

Scooters are a favorite outdoor gift for kids year after year. There’s nothing more freeing than getting to fly down the pavement on your very own scooter. Many scooters even pack down easily, so kids can take them on vacation or to the grandparents’ house! One of our favorites is the Kids’ Micro Kickboard Mini with three wheels and a lean-to-steer design.

Shopping for a budding athlete? A great outdoor gift idea for kids is a soccer goal. Friends, siblings, and parents can join the game, or kids can practice by themselves! With their very own soccer goal, kids can turn any yard or open space into a field. The SKLZ Quickster is lightweight and portable, yet sturdy enough for players of all skill levels.

Everyone knows kids are more likely to do something that’s good for them if they have fun with it. Giving them the gift of their own, colorful water bottle will make them excited to stay hydrated. Whether they’re running around the yard or hiking alongside you on the trails, they’ll feel proud to have their favorite water bottle showing off their favorite color, animal, or character. A few of our favorite choices are the Kids' Hydro Flask 12oz Wide Mouth Bottle, the Kids’ YETI Rambler Jr, and the CamelBak Eddy+ Kids 14oz Water Bottle with fun colors and designs kids love!

Any of these outdoor gift ideas for kids are sure to be a hit! Whether you’re shopping for a Christmas gift or a birthday present, you can find tons of gift ideas in our wide selection of toys, games, outdoor gear, and more. Check out all of our gift ideas for everyone on your list!
