The 12 Best Outdoor Toys for Toddlers

You’ll love watching them work on their fine motor skills. They’ll love seeing just how far they can splash and get you wet.

An upgrade to the all-water table: This design allows your toddler to play with both water and sand under the shaded sun protection of an umbrella.

The joy they’ll have flipping pretend burgers on the light up grill is totally worth the amount of time you’ll spend fake eating the food they serve.

Use it in your backyard or cart it to the beach. Either way, this colorful toy—which allows your toddler to pour water or sand, then watch it cascade down between levels, will keep them occupied for 10 minutes at least.

It’s basically a water-sprinkler-turned-pond—and the perfect way for non-swimmers to quickly cool off.

Complete with three different levels of play, so that kids can grow into their confidence.

Because what toddler doesn’t want to play a micro-sized version of putt-putt in the backyard?

Complete with a hoop you can adjust (up to 4 feet) to accommodate their ever-changing height.

For when they’re desperate to get around, but aren’t quite ready for a big-kid bike.

It dispenses 500 bubbles per minute. Need we say more?

So, they can have their own gardening projects while you’re busy with yours.

OK, so it’s not a toy per se, but it’s built for kid conversations, so at the very least you’ll get a mini-break.
