Gifting in an eco-conscious way can feel like a minefield, so we've been exploring some ideas to get your little ones curious about the world around them.
We’ve included gift ideas that will give back to the environment, or get your kids outdoors, or teach them about the beauty of the natural world.
Here are some of our favourites from some fabulous small businesses and UK charities:
1. Adopt an Animal.
The Wildlife Trust offer adoption packs for all sorts of wild animals in the UK, from hedgehogs to deer to dolphins, and even bats! Subscriptions start from 3.50 a month or a £20 for one off donation.
