Kids, wild and wired.
Will it snow this Christmas Day? Probably not, according to most forecasters. So why not join us at The Kids’ Nature Shop and plan a Green Christmas instead?
We dipped into our website and pulled out 8 perfect presents for kids who love nature. There’s a range of ages and gifts are suitable for either indoors, outdoors or both. (But do hang onto that sled just in case…)
