Outdoor Summer Fun in the Sun

We love to encourage our kids to play outside as much as possible in the summer. A lot of the time our kids use their imagination and combine it with animals, sports equipment or toys they have to make up their own sport games or activities. It is always exciting to see what they come up with.

Here are a a couple items our kids have loved this summer and are great for encouraging children to enjoy the outdoors and use their imagination.

Playmobil Aqua 1, 2, 3 Splish Splash Park - This is an excellent outdoor toy but can also be used indoors in the fall/winter. We added water to it for our kids and they made their own mini water park! It is small enough to move around wherever you need it and comes with boats and other items that float. This is a great option on a hot day because it keeps the kids cool as well. Our family loves Playmobil and the pieces we have bought have lasted years through all of our kids.

Cat Construction Dump Truck Sand Set - It is fair to say that every single one of our children at some point have loved playing with cars and trucks. Our brother has a big pile of dirt at his house and this truck would be perfect to explore the dirt pile with. The bonus part of this truck is it has removable parts that become sand toys! This is an awesome 2-in-1 option you can pick up at your local Walmart.

Gazillion Bubbles Stormin’ Bubble Blaster - The products that Gazillion Bubbles comes out with are all incredible. As parents, bubbles tend to be a bit messy with lots of spills, but Gazillion Bubbles machines makes bubbles easy. You simply just pour the solution in the tray, dip your machine into it, push the button and bubbles pour out of the machine. This would be a great addition to any birthday party or even a backyard summer evening. You can find this at your local Walmart.

However you are enjoying your summer outside, we hope these few ideas will help spark some imaginative play with your kids as you soak up the Golden Sun.
