Sports and Games Outdoor Toys
Get your toddler having fun, running around and interested in sport with the outdoor toys opposite. Many of these sports toys are great for developing toddler hand hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills
Your toddler and you will have so much fun with the Little Tikes TotSports T-Ball Set opposite. Toddlers can learn the basics of the sport by practising hitting the ball of the tee. Great reviews over on amazon.com and a graet toy.
The Little Tikes Basketball is another cool, fun toy. Its aimed at kids aged 18 months to 5 years and includes an oversize rim and junior size basketball.
Other good sports and games toys for toddlers include golf and bowling.Check them all out below.
Sand and Water Toys
There are lots of sand and water toys and tables availble which make great outdoor toys for toddlers.
The Step2 Waterwheel play table is a fun water toy for toddlers. My son had one and he used to play for ages filling up containers and pouring them out. Its a fantastic toy for a hot day as you can sit in the Sun and watch them play, giving you a little break.
Sand pits and tables are also good outdoor toys. I prefer sandpits because a toddler can sit in the sand and make sandcastles etc. I find with sand tables all they want to do is tip the sand out on the floor but I featured a few options as many parents do prefer the table to be elevated of the floor.
Slides and Climbers
Toddlers love going up and coming down slides. I love the step2 big folding slide opposite as it has lots of growing room and your toddler will be using it for years to come.
All parents know toddlers love to climb, so you could also consider investing in a slide with a climber for extra fun.
The LIttle Tikes Fold Away Climber opposite also features a basketball hoop, soccer and hockey net for even more fun.

Outdoor toys on wheels - Scooters and Ride on Toys
Toddlers love ride on toys. My son's absolute favorite ride on toy was the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. He would sit and push himself around on it for ages. Its aimed at kids between 18 months to 5 years.
Other great toys for older toddlers include scooters. There are quite a few scooters designed for older toddlers including the radio flyer and mini kick scooters below.
The radio flyer scooters have some good features for toddlers including an extra wide base for maximum stability and two wheels in front for stable steering. It fold for easy storage and comes 100% assembled.
The mini kick scooter has excellent reviews on amazon.com. It comes in a variety of different colors. Its features include a which deck is low-to-the-ground so kids can hop on and off easily. The deck also is large enough for both feet, so kids can switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride. It also has a unique lean and steer mechanism.
Extra fun toys - Stomp rockets, bubbles and more
A stomp rocket is a fun toy for toddlers and their parents! See how high you can shoot the rocket in the air by stomping on the pump at the bottom.
Most toddlers will be fascinated by bubbles. They will love to chase them and try and touch/pop them.
Finally sidewalk chalk is great for drawing outside. My son used to spend ages drawing with the chalk and it can easily be washed away when it rains.
Inflatable Pools and Water Toys
On a hot day, toddlers love splashing about in the water and playing with toys in there. We used to put a baby slide going into our inflatable pool and my son used to play for ages going up and down the slide.
Inflatable tools are great fun for toddlers and perfect for cooling them down too.
