Kubb Outdoor Lawn Game
This wooden game can be played on any flat surface, from the backyard to the beach. Family members of all ages can get in on the fun too. Players take turns tossing a wooden baton to knock over the opponent’s
Paint Your Own Rock Art
My kids love to paint any chance they can get. Why not give them an endless supply of canvases by letting them paint rocks?!
This mandala rock art set is a great jumping off point for design ideas and to learn about patterns and color mixing, but once the kit contents are gone just grab some rocks, brushes, and paint and set them on their way!
Pool Necessities
We’ve used these baby floats for all four of our children whenever we wanted to spend a day at the pool. It is great because the float allows you to be semi-hands free, helps keep the sun off baby, and lets them experience the water in a relaxed way.
One thing that will keep our kids in the pool and playing for hours is a set of diving pool toys.
This 23 pack of toys gives lots of different options of things to dive for ensuring no one ever gets bored!
Glove-A-Bubble
We tried these for the first time this year and they were a hit! Not only do my younger kids love them (because every kid loves bubbles), but my older kids had a blast creating huge amounts of bubbles for the littles to chase.
Sand and Water Toys
The Playmobil sand excavator building set has a shovel that can be used on the tractor or be removed and used on it’s own. I love multi-purpose toys like this and my energetic little boy is going to love playing with this in the sandbox!
Another great toy for a day at the beach or in the sandbox is the seaside kicks sand and water sifting funnel.
With all the different layers, kids are sure to enjoy filling and dumping over and over again.
Trampolines
My kids loved having a trampoline in the backyard. We’ve since moved and haven’t yet replaced it, but we are looking to do so once again because they could literally be out jumping and playing for hours.
If you get one that includes some extras like a basketball hoop and net, it adds more fun and a little safety to the mix.
BONUS
My kids love to play with forts whether they are indoors or out. I’ve created a list of the Top Ten Fort Building Tools that will let kids build and play for hours on end, use their imaginations, and have fun!
