15 Great Amazon Finds for Your 4H-er

Christmas is just around the corner! I love being able to give my kids gifts that will help them with their 4-H projects in the coming year.  Sometimes I just buy things for their stockings and sometimes I buy something as a larger gift. I have found that Amazon has some great items for 4H projects. So I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite gift ideas.  I tried to include items that have Prime shipping just in case you are a procrastinator like me! Here are 15 great Amazon finds for your 4H-er.

Livestock Exhibitor Harness

This is a gift I purchased for all three of my kids after our first year at fair. Our exhibitor number was so ratty and torn up that it looked terrible by the end of fair. This is a great way to keep that number in good shape for the whole week. Plus you don’t have to put any safety pins into a nice shirt this way!

Livestock Show Comb Holder

If you have to carry a comb with you into the show ring why not do it with style? I like that this keeps the comb/brush out of their back pocket.

Grooming Kit Organizer

Animal projects of every kind require grooming supplies. How about a bag to organize all of it?. This cute bag comes in a variety of colors! 

Books

If your 4H-er is starting a new project why not get them a book to read on the subject. It could become a great resource down the road. I especially love the “Storey’s Guide To” series. There is a book on raising just about every kind of animal you can think of.

4-H Inspired tee shirts and sweatshirts

Don’t forget the fun t-shirts that sum up life as a 4H-er! These are just a few examples of the many t-shirts Amazon offers. 

Temple Grandin DVD

This is an inspirational true story about Temple Grandin and how she changed how the animal industry treats and handles livestock. 

Small Animal Supplies

Amazon has lots of small animal supplies too. The rabbit harness is a favorite of ours. There is nothing cuter than seeing a bunny out for a walk on a leash. We use the pen in nice weather to let our bunnies out to get some excercise.

Personal Sprayer/Mister

Our fair is in August and it is usually brutally hot. I saw a lot of kids with these at fair this last year. This item is at the top of my list for my own kids. 

Show Whip

My kids go through at least one whip per 4H season. This show whip has a replaceable Popper which makes it last a little longer. This year at fair the pigs got a hold of the whips and chewed them up. These are on my list for sure this year.

Cookie Cutters

How cute are these farm themed cookie cutters? These would be perfect for a child taking the baking project. Or just because you want to take some cookies to a project meeting.

Cordless Animal Clippers

Trying to find a plug out in the farmyard can be a challenge. These cordless clippers make it easy to clip your animal wherever it is most convenient. My kids put theirs to good use preparing their animals for show.

4-H Inspired Jewelry

This sweet little necklace speaks for itself!

Zippered Binder

Give your 4H-er a place to keep all their project paperwork! No more scrambling to find their project books when you are already late for a meeting. This might seem like a strange gift idea but my kids have begged for these so they can keep everything organized.

Well there you have it! I hope you found something that will light up your child’s eyes on Christmas! As always, I would love to here from you! Please feel free to contact me at any time.
