Long summer days can be sometimes boring and uneventful. But, sometimes all it takes is the right garden toy to cheer your kids and invite them in your backyard to play. The choice of children's garden toys is endless, so choosing the right ones can help your kids have fun outdoors..
Grip Ball
This is one of those children’s garden toys that will keep your kids busy for hours. Not only your kids will be physically active, but they will also get to focus on the ball (not to miss it or drop it). Lightweight and small, this toy can be a great pastime at the park, beach, or in the backyard, you name it. Easy for packing, your kid can take this toy when going play at their friends’ place, or on a vacation. If you’re running out of birthday gift ideas, this one will surely bring lots of joy and smiles.
Pool Slide
If you have a pool, even if it's inflatable, then a pool slide will bring even more joy and fun for your kids. It's one of those outdoor toys that you know will never become boring. Choose an inflatable model you can easily store when not in use. Inflatable pool slides are soft and durable enough to allow kids to slide straight into the water. If your kids are scared of water or are learning how to swim, this toy will help them relax and loosen up.
Swimming Ring
Speaking of pools and garden toys, we can't skip the swimming ring. Not only it's a must-have for kids who are still learning how to swim, but it's a great accessory for days spent at the beach or by the pool. It's safe, and helpful and will make the water more inviting for kids who are hesitant. It's important to always have an eye on your kid, and choose a suitable size, so the child won't just slip down into the water.
Bodyboard
Surfers should learn the thrill of waves from a young age. Get your kids a bodyboard to introduce them to the magic of surfing. Make sure the board is suitable for their age, skills, and height. Bodyboards are specially designed for young children, so they can relax and learn how to ride waves in shallow waters. Made of high-density foam and lightweight, these boards are perfect for learning and getting over the fear of waves. Be sure to always supervise your child.
Cricket Set
A cricket set for your garden will spark an interest in your kid about this sport. Suitable for younger children, these sets are a great way to introduce your kid to cricket. The great thing is that these sets are suitable for more than a couple of kids, so you can organize a competitive playdate for your children and their friends. They'll remain busy and dedicated to winning the game and you can relax knowing that they are away from their phones. It’s a great toy for your backyard, but also for the park or beach. This set is a superb choice as a birthday gift as well.
Jump Rope
A jump rope is surely one of the favourite kids' outdoor toys. There're so many ways to use it and play (alone or with friends). Not only it'll help your child get some much-needed physical activity, but it will invite them to stay outdoors for as long as possible. Cool toy for your garden, but also for the beach or park. One jump rope can easily be a cool and fun toy for at least three kids, so choosing one means an endless inspiration for various jumping games.
Pool Basketball Hoop
This is a cool toy for regular pools. The basketball hoop will inspire your kids to play water basketball and score. It might be a bit of a challenge for kids who can't swim, but with inflatable armbands or swimming rings, that won't be a problem. The hoop is a great way to help children learn how to play because it will demand the kid to move and keep themselves on the surface. Even kids who are scared of water or a bit hesitant to relax and learn to swim on their own will love this game. It will be a great distraction from the fear. Always supervise your kids even if they know how to swim on their own.
Hop, Skip and Splash
Regular hopscotch is always a fun game to play, but a hop, skip and splash will surely be great refreshment for hot summer days. It's a cool addition to your backyard; all you need is a garden hose to connect the Hop, Skip and Splash, and your kids will adore it. The main goal is to hop and skip the right spot, or they'll get splashed by water.
Twister With a Splash
Twister is a cool game that even adults love to play. But if you add a splash to a regular Twister game, you'll get the ultimate fun for long summer days. Just spin the spinner and see if you can keep your balance while water is splashing you. Every time one of the players spins, you should place your hands and feet on the right colour. Of course, you should try not to fall, but will this challenge be easy when there are splashes from various sprinkles? Lightweight and easy to store, this Twister can be packed and taken just anywhere.
