How about a hiking backpack built just for kids? For example, the Deuter Fox 30 backpack. It is designed to fit children and has adjustable straps and a hip belt to help distribute weight evenly. This would be perfect for her hiking trips with kids.
Another great idea is a kids' hiking book that she can enjoy reading and learning from. One good option is "National Parks of the USA", written by Kate Siber. It's aimed at kids ages 8 to 12 and teaches them about national parks and some of the country's unique natural wonders.
Lastly, you could create a "hiking survival kit" of sorts for her. Fill a backpack or duffle bag with things like a water bottle, trail mix, first aid kit, sunscreen, bug spray, a compass, and a map of some nearby hiking trails. You could also include a small disposable camera so she can take photos during her hikes.
Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
