Toddlers love trips to the park but we all know that we can’t spend as much time there as they would like. That’s why it’s great to have some outdoor toys in your garden, no matter how big or small your space is. My children loved water tables, sand play, as well as our play house and basics like bats and balls.
Outdoor activity toys for toddlers
Kids of all ages love water! A water table makes a great activity toy for toddlers as soon as they are able to stand at the table. Not only will they have hours of fun splashing in the water but they will develop coordination and fine motor skills too.
Another great water toy is these boat water playsets. If your toddler loves boats they'll love floating them around this water track. There are so many great interactive elements to this toy that your toddler is bound to love.
This classic toy has been around for over 30 years and it's easy to see why. Both my girls have enjoyed many happy trips around our garden in this classic car. There are many variations in design to this classic too now like princess carriages and police cars.
The scuttlebug comes in a range of designs. They have 3 wheels for stability and fold up so they are great for taking in the car. The scuttlebug is perfect for toddlers aged 1-3 years.
The scramblebug has 4 wheels that move in 360 degrees. It is easier to steer than the scuttlebug but still folds up just as easily as the scuttlebug. Suitable from 1-3 years.
If your toddler loves slides this is a great addition to your garden. It's not too tall and it's stable too.
This bench is fantastic for toddlers. It's got a water tray which as we discussed above, toddlers love. There is also a sand tray that will also appeal to toddlers. The lid also allows the table to be used as a picnic table or for play or crafts.
This easel is great for your outdoor play area. Toddlers can paint as much as they like on the easel which is great for developing pre-writing skills. Then simply wipe clean and start all over again. The plant is a lovely addition so you can grow something together too.
Kids love mud and role play too. Mud kitchens combine the two in a way that is very inviting for young kids. This one also features a sink for additional water play.
Toddlers love playing in playhouses. They really bring out their imaginative play skills.
If your toddler loves climbing, consider getting some Indoor climbing toys for toddlers too.
