There is something properly exciting about a real compass, one that actually works, that you hold in your hand and watch the needle settle north, and suddenly the woods or the park or the field you have walked past a hundred times becomes somewhere to navigate rather than just somewhere to walk through. This one from Huckleberry is made from FSC certified beechwood with a clear acrylic body so you can see straight through it to the ground while you navigate, which is exactly how a proper orienteer does it. The kind of thing that turns an ordinary walk into an expedition, every single time. We love it because: A real working compass in FSC certified beechwood, not a toy version, which children respond to with appropriate seriousness. The clear acrylic body lets you see the ground beneath while navigating, just like the real thing. Waxed cotton cord included so it can be worn around the neck and kept close on every adventure. Beautifully made and lovely to hold, the kind of object that feels like it belongs in an explorer's kit. Huckleberry supports The Children and Nature Network, so every purchase contributes to connecting more children with the natural world. Pairs brilliantly with the Hideaway Tent, the Treasure Capsule or anything else for a child who takes their outdoor adventures seriously.
