My 4 year old enjoyed following a compass bearing to an old plane
wreck I had GPS coordinates for. About 1/2 mile of flat wooded
terrain. Reward-snacks and he got to bring back a small piece of it.

Something else we tell him and friends when hiking is about
mountain lions. A small but real threat, it helps keep the kids
close (which is what you want for other threats as well as lions).
