Outdoor Kid's Toys For Summer

 

Temperatures are climbing and we can't keep the little ones inside any longer. Here's a look at the best outdoor toys to beat the heat this summer.


1. Inflatable Water Park (buy it now price, $429.99)
This water park will bring the party to your backyard all summer long. A pump is included to assure constant inflation and there are all kinds of fun stations, such as a stationary water gun, a climbing wall and a slide.


2. Step2 Fun Flow Play Sink (buy it now price, $117.77)
I've tried a lot of water sinks and this one is by far the best. It's simple—an on/off switch activates a pump that pushes water through the spout and into a large sink. That's it. And really, that's all kids want.


3. Electric Wagon (buy it now price, $79)
Forget the traditional red wagon and go for this rechargeable battery powered one. Although it's not intended for little ones to use alone, you've got to check out this video of my son, Jack, having some solo fun with this wagon (while supervised, of course).


4. Great Electric Motorized Water Gun (buy it now price, $19.95)
Blast away enemies hiding deep in the back yard with this electric powered water gun.


5. Inflatable Above Ground Pool With Pump (buy it now price, $254.94)
If spending $30k on a new pool is out of the question, then consider getting one of these above ground pools with stationary pump. The water stays clean thanks to the filtration system and you can even add a salt water adapter and ladder.


6. Sea Scooter (buy it now price, $129.99)
If you're going to be spending time in a pool, lake or even the ocean this summer, then a sea scooter is a great way to get around underwater. This hand held gadget will pull you with great speed.


7. Banzai Black Out Water Slide (buy it now price, $37.95)
The black out tunnel adds an extra element of adventure, making this water slide all kinds of fun.


8. Amazing Outdoor Gorilla Play Set (buy it now price, $3,199.99)
If money is no object and you want to turn your yard into the neighborhood playground, then one of these play sets is just what you need: swings, slides, climbing walls and even a sandbox.



9. Outdoor Parachute (but it now price, $30.99)
Sometimes the simplest of toys are the most fun. This parachute is perfect for playing, from bouncing balls to popping the chute!


10. Outdoor Picnic Playhouse (buy it now price, $299.50)
A great getaway for the little ones, with a working doorbell, indoor outdoor play areas and plenty of play food.
