Summer is here and it is getting HOT outside! We are doing The Screen Free Summer Challenge so we have invested in some new toys for our backyards to get our kids outdoors as much as possible! Here are some of the top outdoor toys for kids:


  • Jungle Gym

    Having a jungle gym in our backyard has been a game changer. Kids love climbing!



  • Reusable Water Balloons

    These reusable water balloons are worth every penny! Kids love them and you don’t have to clean up a thousand little pieces of balloon all over your yard. It’s a win win!

  • Water Guns

    Anybody up for a water fight? These water guns are easy to use and a ton of fun. They are also great to take to the swimming pool!


  • Kitty Pool

    This pool in particular is actually an oversized dog pool, but it is absolutely perfect for kids! It is made from very sturdy material, it folds up nicely for when you aren’t using it, and you do t have to blow it up every time you want to use it!

  • Diving Mermaids

    My girls love having these diving mermaids to play with in the kitty pool or to take with them to a swimming pool!


  • Sprinkler

    This sprinkler is extra fun because you never know where it’s going to shoot water. Running through sprinklers are a sunmertime staple of childhood!

  • Splash Pad

    Kids LOVE splash pads! They are a great way to stay cool on a hot summer day!

  • Slip ‘N Slide

    If you’ve got the space for a slip ‘n slide, you need to let your kids experience this simple joy!

  • Swing Set

    This is the same swingset we have in our little backyard and it is by far our most-used outdoor toy.

  • Tree Swing/Climbing Rope

    Let your kids have a blast and build strength with this tree swing and climbing rope! It can hang from a tree OR hang it from your swing set.

  • Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course

    This is such a cool toy! If you have trees in your backyard and a place to put this ninja warrior obstacle course, you’ve got to get it!

  • Inflatable Water Slide

    This inflatable water slide is a blast for the kids! It’s perfect for a hot afternoon, birthday parties, cook outs, and play dates!

  • Water Table

    If you have little kids, a water table is a MUST! Set it on your deck and watch your kids play for hours. We fill the table with sand in the winter.

  • Rock Painting Kit

    If you’ve got crafty kids, painting rocks is a fun activity for summer!


  • Bubble Gun

    Bubble guns are guaranteed to add joy to any day!

  • Stomp Rocket

    Kids of all ages love stomp rockets!

  • Bug Catcher

    We love this bug catcher! It is amazing to watch the wonder in your kids eyes as they fin and explore bugs.


Stepping Stones

These stepping stones are fun to play on, help with balance, and are the perfect addition to an obstacle course!

  • Kid Size Yard Tools

    Kids loved to be involved with whatever you do, so get them their own yard tools and have them help out!


  • Sidewalk Chalk

    The sky is the limit with sidewalk chalk.. no matter the age! Play hopscotch, make murals, make tracks, and more!
