Give the gift of the outdoors

What we give our kids for the holidays determines how they’ll spend their time in the months ahead. So, we compiled some easy gift ideas that help get them outdoors because, well, kids grow better outside.

Making kids and the outdoors besties

Generation Wild is on a mission to rewild kids and get them to experience all the benefits Mother Nature provides. Wilder, our spokescreature, helps inspire kids to get out there and explore. Half-yeti, half-mountain goat and all friend, his big paws are all over the fun we spread around the state. From helping hand out over 200,000 Wilderflower® seeds to leading the world’s longest game of hopscotch you never know where he’ll pop up but you can be sure it will be outside. Keep an eye out for Wilder at events across the state. He’s always looking for more friends.

About Generation Wild

The average kid spends less than seven minutes a day outside in unstructured play. We’re on a mission to help change that.
