Nature Gift: Age 8+ "Field Trips"

     Are you trying to inspire the love of nature in a kid that you know?  This book is a great gift for the science and fact lover in your family.  It offers a great starter guide to exploring the natural world.  With sections on bug hunting, animal tracking, bird watching, and shore walking it is sure to catch the interest of any curious mind.
     While giving just the book is a good gift if you want it to be great consider adding some of the following (the book explains the uses of all of these items):
Bug Hunting Equipment:
                         Aquarium net
                         Magnifier 
                         Small Jars
                         Cardboard jewelry box
                         Tweezers
                         Flash Light
Animal Tracking:
                         Sketch Book
                          Pencils
                         Small Measuring Tape
Bird Watching:
                           Binoculars
     
       If you just want to get the bare essentials I suggest the Magnifier, sketch book, and binoculars.
A lot of kids are not sure what to do with nature so giving them a guide such as this can send them off into a great adventure!
