Start by exploring the nature in your own backyard with your children. Even the smallest discoveries can lead to something big: A connection with nature that lasts a lifetime. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the process, you may discover more about the true and unique<\/em> nature of your child! We have recommendations for books<\/a>, games, puzzles<\/a>, activities<\/a> and toys<\/a> suitable for every age and interest. Just ask!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Empower your children to take action, with a simple start on a backyard micro-habitat<\/a>, <\/strong>like a window feeder<\/a> or even a DIY kit to build their own feeder! No matter the scale or level of effort, even the smallest effort by the smallest hands contributes to making a difference! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal is to make it simple for you and fun for them! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Backyard Naturalist<\/strong> team will be here to help you support and encourage your budding naturalist every step of the way with personalized recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best wishes for a safe and stress-free holiday season for you and your loved ones. We are thankful for your continuing support of wild birds and for our efforts here at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Debi & Mike Klein and The Backyard Naturalist Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Give your children a gift that lasts a lifetime and echoes through generations: a love for Nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":11984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":{"x":0.56,"y":0.52},"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gifts-for-all-ages-and-budgets"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11985,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11982\/revisions\/11985"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebackyardnaturalist.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Discovering the nature of your child<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
