A friend with young children recently asked me what our family’s all time most favorite outdoor toys were. From big ticket items to the smallest ones our kids have thoroughly used {and abused} all of these from sun up to sun down through each season and from 0-9 years old. So from one outdoorsy family to yours, here’s our holiday roundup!
Scooters – our favorite! From little guys to the biggest guys there’s one for everyone.
Razor Junior Folding Kiddie Kick | Razor A Kick Scooter | Razor Spark DLX | Razor Graffiti Chalk | Razor A Lighted Wheel | Razor A5 Lux [for grown-ups] | Razor E Spark Electric
Preschoolers
Tonka Trucks | Sand + Water Table | Little Tykes Swings
Let your imagination go!
Sidewalk Chalk – draw a picture, secret message, morning greeting, race track
Orange Cones – these are the little cones you might see used for soccer or sports field boundaries. But I tell you that dollar for dollar these have been the MOST used outdoor toy in the history of our family. The little ones stack ’em up and spread them out over and OVER again. The older ones use them for obstacle courses or race tracks. So Simple and yet they always seem to find a need for them.
What would you add to this list? I’d love a fresh new idea to add to our outdoor fun!
