35 Toys That Will Get Your Kids Moving Outdoors While You Lounge in the Sun This Summer

1. A foot-powered scooter — with this stylish ride, your little one will feel just like Audrey Hepburn roaming the streets of Rome with Gregory Peck...wait, your toddler hasn't watched "Roman Holiday" yet? Looks like it's time for a movie night!

For Bluey fans who can’t resist jumping up and dancing when the theme song plays, here’s a set of Wackadoo dice! One die features different actions like "dance," "jump," and "floss," while the other displays various animals your child can pretend to be while performing the action. Expect to see kangaroos flossing all over your yard, and maybe even a sloth—who's lying down while the rest of the crew is dancing!

Introducing a wonderfully modern playset, complete with a climbing ladder, rock wall, slide, a cozy clubhouse with circular windows, hanging bars, and a swing that’ll provide hours of entertainment for your kids (and likely every child in the neighborhood)—all while helping you maintain the elevated style you’ve worked so hard to create in your backyard.

This budget-friendly 3-in-1 sprinkler, splash pad, and wading pool is brightly decorated with colorful letters and numbers, making it perfect for combining fun and learning. On a scorching day, you might even find yourself joining the kids in this refreshing splash!

Introducing a candy-themed pool that's guaranteed to be as sweet as a treat on those scorching summer days when you can't bear the thought of heading to a splash pad. This pool is so irresistibly cute, you'll definitely want to snap some family photos to share on the group chat—because that’s just as important as the fun itself!

For kids who are even more eager than your golden retriever to get outdoors and chase a ball, here’s a flying orb that glows, hovers, and returns like a boomerang. Your kids love you, but honestly, playing catch with you is nowhere near as exciting as this!

Here’s a Gator Golf set to help your child practice ‘feeding’ an animal while they swear they’ll take care of a real pet. The goal is to get the ball into the gator’s mouth three times, and when they succeed, the playful tail flicks the ball back. With a critter this fun, they might just forget about that kitten they've been begging for!

This Stomp Rocket launcher sends mini foam rockets soaring up to 200 feet in the air. Ever wonder how far you have to run to catch a rocket that flies that high? Your kids will soon find out. Good luck!

Or perhaps a Dino Blasters rocket launcher, because when your little paleontologist is stuck inside and about to explode with energy, launching a dinosaur 100 feet into the sky *from a volcano* is the perfect solution!

A set of flying rings that will make you envy your kids when you think of the old-school Frisbees you used to toss around. These are 80% lighter, fly more precisely, and the hole in the center makes them far easier (and less painful) to catch.

11. A four-pack of reusable water bomb balloons that will turn your backyard into a battlefield for epic water balloon fights. Imagine if you could keep the fun going forever with endless supplies—now that's some summer magic at its finest!

12. A set of rubber-topped logs and stumps designed to bring the excitement of the forest to your home, encouraging your child to run, jump, and work on their balance, all while you enjoy a peaceful nap.

13. A digital camera for kids with 32GB of storage, perfect for capturing everything from household moments to fun outdoor adventures in the yard, inspiring your child’s creativity in photography.

14. A KidKraft A-frame wooden climber and tent hideaway, the perfect playset for your little rock climber until your next family camping trip.

15. A rocket ship swing that's astronot your average rope swing — with a setup this fun, your kids will be swinging off into space (and giving you *your* space) all summer long. 

16. A huge inflatable bowling set that promises endless fun for the whole family.

17. The Floor is Lava! board game designed for kids who are practically bursting with energy during their summer break. To play, they jump from foam tile to foam tile, while you (who takes the stationary spinning player position) announce which color is safe to land on.

18. A whimsically delightful mushroom tent that will captivate imaginative children who favor pretend play over structured activities. If your home is filled with too much energy for comfort, send your little adventurers into their 'forest' and let them gather treasures to decorate their toadstool home.

19. A personalized nature hunt board that's just right for their mushroom hideaway. Collecting various items could serve as ingredients for a dinner for their gnome friends, supplies for a magical potion, or simply as whimsical outdoor decor. The possibilities for imagination are endless outside (literally!).

20. A pop-up tunnel play set — your little ones will have a blast crawling in and out of this fun tunnel obstacle course. (It even includes a ball pit!)

21. A foam pogo jumper — the perfect toy for kids who are too young for a traditional pogo stick but still have boundless energy and a love for bouncing all over the place.

22. A talking, singing rainbow poop toy that, at first glance, may not seem like the one you’d want around the house. But think again! This quirky toy plays hide-and-seek with your kids, meaning this piece of poop will save you from hiding in the bathtub while your child tries to find you. (They’re so bad at seeking!)

23. Flickin' Chicken could be the next backyard sensation! This hilariously silly game is safe for everyone, including grandpa — assuming he’s not too 'chicken' to join in the fun.

24. A kids' bow and arrow designed for families who enjoy the thrill of archery... with soft, safe arrows perfect for playful battles.

25. The WowWee Nerf Super Soaker RoboBlaster, a water blaster that will elevate any water fight. Could this be their shower for the day?

26. A toss-and-catch ball set designed to bring back nostalgic memories of childhood. Now, you can pass down the excitement (and the ball) to the next generation!

27. Twister Splash for families who love to slip, slide, and laugh their way through a water-filled version of this classic game.

28. Banzai Bump N' Bounce Body Bumpers to provide kids who love rough play and parents who wish they were wrapped in bubble wrap all the time.

29. A giant bubble kit featuring a two-handle wand that lets your kids create impossibly large bubbles!

30. A shark water slide that reviewers claim keeps their kids entertained for HOURS. It features a built-in sprayer that connects to your garden hose, and the small pool at the bottom is perfect for younger kids. This is fun for both kids and adults, so feel free to jump in and take a ride yourself — after all, it's for teaching sharing, right?

31. A scavenger hunt game that's perfect for those moments when you'd rather relax, and your kids are bursting with energy. Instead of hunting for specific items, this game challenges kids to find things that are "scratchy," "warm," "fuzzy," and more, giving them a chance to get creative!

32. A cornhole set that reviewers are loving because it’s customizable! Add stickers of your child's favorite characters (I'm choosing Bluey), and you might just convince them to put down the TV remote and enjoy a game of toss with you outside.

33. A bubble machine that's rechargeable and bound to make your child burst into joyous laughter when they turn it on! 

34. A DIY kaleidoscope kit — the perfect choice for a child who enjoys arts and crafts and could use a bit of time away from screens. They'll have a blast finding unique objects to place inside, and once it's filled, they can enjoy the mesmerizing patterns it creates. This kit can be used again and again to design new kaleidoscopes, ensuring endless fun! 

35. A kids' roller coaster built to withstand the elements — rain or shine, it's tough enough to be left outside! This ride will keep your little ones entertained through all the ups and downs of their summer adventures.
