Our Favorite Outdoor Toys for Kiddos

Living in Texas we can pretty much play outside year round... and those times when it is sizzling hot, we just find the nearest pool to jump into or splash pad to run through.  

One of my all time, ultimate favorite go-to outside toys is the Bunch o' Balloon water balloons.  These are soooooo super easy to use and we go through them like crazy!  They make great stocking stuffers, basket stuffers or just because you survived the day gifts!  They can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Amazon, CVS and ToysRUs. 

These Gonge Riverstones and River are fantastic for creative play and obstacle course creating!  Both are highly durable and can withhold a good amount of weight.  We play with them outside along with some cones.  They are great for color recognition, jumping, keeping balance and let's be honest, burning off some of that energy!  These can also be found on Fatbrain Toys.

I highly recommend this Step Two Roller Coaster.  Originally this was given to Truman, who indeed loves it.  What I didn't expect was that Winston would enjoy it as much as he does.  And really, I like to take a turn too!  It's super durable {as is evidenced by the previous sentence!} and it fits into itself to make storing in its box an easy feat.  Winston loves being a helper to Truman, #boysareblurs and it has been a great tool in helping us teach Truman how to take turns!  

Another item that has provided a lot of entertainment is our Little Tykes bounce house.  There are quite a few styles and options available.  This is great to blow up for just the two of them or when we have guests over.   

Lastly, I'll share the Stomp Rocket.  This never gets old no matter how many times it gets jumped on!  This makes an excellent gift for any occasion.  Really, our entire family enjoys taking turns to see how high or far we can shoot the rockets!

And while all of these things are great, nothing truly beats a pile of rocks, some diggers and an big imagination!

What would you add to the list?  Let me know so that I can check them out!
