Moms - Recommend your outdoor toys for kids.
This Saturday was so beautiful, we were outside on our deck and in the backyard all day. Ava is obsessed with the outdoors, and we have a big swing/slide/adventure set (whatever you call those things) - but some of it is just too big for her and she's too little to be on it without one of us putting her back up on the slide, etc, etc, etc. and we can't do that all day long.
We have a gate on our deck and I wanted to get a couple of things for her to do up there. I was thinking this water table http://tinyurl.com/24d3lu (they have one at daycare and she loves it) and I also want to maybe get this http://tinyurl.com/3p486z so she'd have a little table and workspace outside, plus when my friends' kids come over, it'll be nice place for them to sit.
Any outdoor stuff (other than swingsets and slides) that you have and you and your DC love? TIA!
Re: Moms - Recommend your outdoor toys for kids.
I think I'm going to get a bubble mower and a pool for her. She never sits when outside and we're not fenced, so basically, all we play is tag, and I'm always it.
Sidewalk chalk?
JT has a small picnic table, a little tricycle that he can pedel with, a lawn mower to push, some trucks etc... along with the new purchase of the weekend - a basketball hoop.
As if it is not hard enough to get him back inside it is even harder now. If he could have slept with his basketball I think he would have.
