Purple Star emoji 15 items
Whether you're outside climbing, hiking, or camping, these are great non-tech ways to encourage exploring.  You know your little best but these have been golden for us over the last 8 years!

If they're into it, they can do their own climbs. Our little loves getting FAs while we're outside and getting to name them (little hills haha!)
