Take a closer look

Their own binoculars. A whole new world.

A bird in the treetops or a boat out on the fjord becomes even more exciting with your own binoculars. The Focus Junior 6×21 weighs 180 grams, offers 6× magnification and has an adjustable distance between the eyepieces.

Four colours – the same binoculars. Ordered from the supplier and available to order now. The binoculars are not waterproof, so put them somewhere dry when it rains.

Find north. Find your way.

A first compass is the start of something.

Start by finding north together. Then try orienting a local hiking map and following a simple direction. The Silva Classic is a straightforward baseplate compass for first map-reading exercises; the Ranger adds a magnifying glass for small details.

A little challenge for your next walk: Let your child find north, point out the destination on the map and choose the next stop together with an adult.

Will we get a bite?

Little anglers. Big moments.

Their own rod, a few lures and a net for the exciting finish. The Vik Spin Junior is a complete set with a 6-foot rod, reel and line. The 18-gram Stingsilda lures match the rod’s 5–20 gram casting range.

The telescopic landing net has rubber mesh and a handle adjustable from 95 to 132 cm. A useful shared tool for family fishing trips from the shore, a jetty or a boat.

After a day of discoveries

A sleeping bag to grow with.

Both Grüezi Bag children’s sleeping bags adjust to body heights from approximately 100 to 170 cm. The DownWool KidsTeen combines down and wool and weighs about 730 grams. The Wolle Kids World Traveller uses wool and synthetic insulation and weighs about 1.05 kg.

A sip along the way

A little refreshment in the backpack.

Sturdy steel bottles for older children and the rest of the family. Choose 0.7 litres for cold drinks, or a vacuum-insulated 0.5-litre bottle. Both have a screw cap and carrying strap – regular outdoor bottles without a child-specific drinking spout.
