Top Outdoor Toys for 2013
When it
comes to having fun as a kid, not every fun moment has to be spent indoors. There are times when kids just need to get outside
and play – and you can give a gift they’ll love to use outside.
First, consider the various sports toys you can get. There’s a little t-ball set
with a stand that stays in a top spot, as well as a basketball hoop for little ones who are just getting started as
athletes.
You might also want to get something
they’ll be amazed with – like the Stomp Rockets toy. This fun toy lets your child stomp on a pad and launch
some rockets into the air – and you can get glow in the dark or Ultra versions of the toy, too.
The Fisher Price Bubble Mower is a cute hit with parents who
want to take their kids outdoors. Of course, this is perfect for summertime, but it might be viable in winter, too, depending
on where you live and the climate you’re enduring.
If you want your little one to have a tree house, but that’s not really an option for you, consider getting
them a playhouse instead. The Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage is a good one on the bestseller list – and it comes
with a kitchen, shutters, a phone and doorbell that make it lifelike to a child.
Archery toys weren’t popular much until the rise of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger
Games movies. Now, archery sets for the outdoors are popular with kids. One set making the top bestseller list is the Air
Hunterz Z-Curve Bow, which makes hunting fun and safe.
Nerf guns are always fun for boys and girls alike. This year, you might consider the Nerf-N-Strike Elite Strongarm
Blaster, making it on the top 100 list. It has a rapid-fire option that kids are guaranteed to love.
Don’t limit yourself to what’s on the top 100 list when
it comes time to buying toys, though. You have so many options. You can choose from ball pits to pogo sticks.
Then there are the big toys parents can buy. These include items like
trampolines, swing sets, water tables, and sandboxes. You can even get large inflatable toys for your child to play
on, like bounce houses that you no longer have to rent – you can own it!
If you do go with a big toy like a trampoline, make sure you get one that will hold up against
the elements – and one that provides ample safety measures for your child. For example, getting a trampoline with an
enclosure net is a great idea to prevent topples from the trampoline, resulting in broken bones.
