If you want to get your kids outside to explore, I have the perfect solution! Give your kids the tools (toys) to explore their natural surroundings at home, at the park, or camping with Backyard Safari Outfitters. This is a fantastic line of kids exploring gear that we were introduced to last year. Not only did my kids have fun playing with the Backyard Safari Bug Vacuum and Mega View Periscope and wearing the Cargo Vest, but they are Still Playing with them a year later. That says a lot about how fun the toys are and that they are high quality.
Backyard Safari Outfitters have taken their line of products to the next level with fantastic new products to prepare your kids for adventure. My kids are total nature lovers so this product line is so good that I feel like it was made just for them. If you want to urge your kids to explore the outdoors with creative products that actually work, I highly recommend Backyard Safari products.
Quick Backyard Safari Outfitters Video Review

Having a base camp for an expedition is essential. Now your kids can hang out in the Base Camp Field Shelter during their adventures outdoors. We even play with it indoors too. This is not a tent to be slept in overnight, I had to explain that to my kids from the beginning. It is a shelter to play and hide in as you explore nature. It is 40″ tall and big enough for 2-3 kids to play in at a time. There are pockets inside to store your safari gear and nature guides. There is even a window in the back to peek on your surroundings without being spotted.
Backyard Safari Camouflage Review
If you really want to explore nature, you’ve gotta hide in plain sight. With the Backyard Safari Camouflage, your kids will really feel like they are on an adventure. Drape it over the field shelter to be completely out of sight while kids can peek out. You could put the camouflage anywhere, over a bush, off a tree, around the entrance to a club house or playground. It is a fun addition to any camp out. It is sizable at 5×8 foot and made up stretchable rip-stop nylon.
Free Pop-Up Field Guide
Each Backyard Safari product comes with a Pop-Up Field Guide that features fun missions for kids to go on along with pictures of other Backyard Safari toys. My son likes opening and closing the unique design and reading it. He keeps it with him quite often as something to go back to review over and over again. Who knew something so simple would be such a winner with kids?
Backyard Safari Expedition Two – Hiking Stick
We have yet to do all the hikes for the Metro Parks Fall Hiking Spree to earn our hiking sticks. My kids are always envious of those that have them when we go on hikes. I really do need to make sure we finish all the hikes this fall. However, Backyard Safari has a fun Hiking Stick that is bound to make some head turns on the trails. It looks like a hand-carved walking stick with a wolf’s head as the top. It is 48″ tall and seems well-made and sturdy. There is a soft grip around the neck for easy and safe holding on while hiking. My kids use it like a sword too but what can you expect!? 🙂
Backyard Safari Mega Magnifier
The Backyard Safari Mega Magnifier got even my husband’s attention. He exclaimed that he’s been wanting to get that for the kids. I guess he had his eye on it. If you’ve had magnifiers in the past, I’m sure you were disappointed with the results as we have been. They are super small and don’t magnify at all. The Backyard Safari Mega Magnifier actually works and is so large that you can see everything and anything! Plus, it floats so you can even use it in water to examine tadpoles, fish, and anything else in creeks and lakes near you.
This was especially useful the other day when we found a scary looking spider right on the shelter. I was so relieved to let the kids examine this spider from a safe distance. Check out the video above to see it better, the glare on the photo didn’t capture how ugly it really was!
Backyard Safari Mini Lantern
The Backyard Safari Mini Lantern is not just cute for kids to play with but it really works. We had a power outage the other night and my kids were scared. They ended up sleeping together but wanted light. Of course I couldn’t give them candles. I suddenly remembered the Backyard Safari Mini Lantern and saved the day. They were so happy to have the light and I was happy it was safe. For such a small lantern, it really gave off a good amount of light. Backyard Safari also has a full size lantern to give the ambiance of a real lantern but with the safety that any mom can appreciate.
And when you aren’t fighting off monsters at night with the lantern, kids can clip the lantern on their cargo vest or shelter while out and about exploring.
