How excited are you about summer? The warm weather, getting to go outside more, and instead of soley staying in the house at home, now you have the whole back yard to explore. But what happens when you have walked through all the grass you can walk through, planted all the plants you can garden, and played all the ball games? There has to be more right? Well there is! Here we have an awesome list of ten must have items for your backyard this summer.
1. Exploring a Mini House?
What better addition to a back yard than an adorable little cabin for the kids to play in, plant in, and explore. Plus it gives the kids a small reprieve from the sun as they are playing out side. This adorable play house from amazon has it all and it is aesthetically pleasing for the back yard. It has the little planters, the windows the kids will odiously climb through, and the door that opens and closes. You can get this adorable house off amazon here.
2. Playground!
A small playground with a swing, slide, basketball hoops, climbing walls are all the rage with the little kids in summer time. It helps them to burn a off all that pent up energy. A brightly colored playground set is also a bonus because the colors just lure them in. This adorable set off amazon meets all the the requirements for a fun time! You can get it here.
3. Everybody Goes Swimming!
Take the family swimming in your very own back yard this summer. Get a pool big enough for everyone that is easy to set up. Amazon has a fun 15 foot pool available for the summer. This one is suitable for kids over the age of six because it is 36 inches deep and according to the listing it can fit a big family: 8 people. You can grab one of these awesome pools off amazon here!
4. Inflatable Hamster Wheel
Alright, so its not exactly an inflatable hamster wheel but it kinda looks like it. This giant inflatable outdoor roller is 51 inches in diameter for maximum rolling fun! It can hold up to 200 pounds so even adults can use this thing, it looks super fun and I would totally try it too. It keeps kids active outdoors, and if they have pet hamsters even better! They will love to pretend to act like their pets. The only down side is that it doesn’t come with its own pump, but you can buy a pump here. You can snag a GIANT INFLATABLE OUTDOOR ROLLER off amazon here!
5. GIANT Outdoor Easel!
Yes, it it exactly as cool as it sounds. this giant outdoor easily is perfect for those artistic kids who are always drawing and painting. It is also so simple to clean up and makes for an awesome water or pool activity. You just spray it off and the kids can jump back in the pool. It also comes with 4 paints and 4 paint brushes. It has an art tray to hold all the goodies! How fun is this? You can grab one on amazon for your kids here!
6. THE GROUND IS LAVA!
You can play the ground is hot lava, filled with sharks, etc with these awesome balance stones. The kids can jump from stone to stone set out in the yard. They can also grab a stone an move them around to make sure they never touch the ground! So much fun can be had, and it works really well if you are working with balance. Grab a pack of these super colorful stepping stones off amazon here.
7. Coral Reef Water Blob!
These coral reef water blobs are absolutely amazing. We had a water blob one summer and loved it. This one is super unique because it has little fake fish you can stick inside of it. As the kids are jumping around the fish float around inside making it look like a fish tank! If you want to turn it into a summer-school teaching moment for preschoolers have them count the fish or name the colors as you play. And the best part? Your kids will want you to join in on the fun and you can. The weight limit on this item is 250 lbs. Grab one of these awesome water blobs off amazon here while you can! They sell out quick!
8. Outdoor Table Tennis
This outdoor table tennis or mini volleyball game could get pretty wild. BUT it is a great game for outside. You can bat the ball back and forth with your hands or with the mallets the game comes with! This would be totally fun for the whole family to play, adults and kids alike! These have sold on several websites BUT amazon still it in stock (at the time of writing this post). So grab this hot item while you can here!
9. Plant a Garden
Planting a garden and growing your own food is really rewarding. Last year we had a really cool raised garden set up out of some plastic pools high off the ground. We have already started seeds for this years garden and many of them have begun growing. BUT its not too late for you to start too. You can grab a raised garden bed off amazon here if you don’t want to come up with your own concepts of building one. This one is adorable and looks like a little white picket fence. It comes with different boxes within it so the plants roots don’t mix and cross contaminate the flavors! That is a major plus for a raised garden. We didn’t have this concept last year and had some pretty funny tasting cucumbers. If you are interested in purchasing this raised garden bed you can grab it off amazon here.
10. Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt comes with clue cards, gems to find and a golden bar! It is just like a pirate treasure hunt! This would be such a fun package or gift to get for the kids this summer and host fun weekly scavenger hunts! Just pick a day grab fun drinks to go outside and hide all the stuff. With it being once a week it would be a super special weekly event during the summer for the kids to look forward too! Grab your scavenger hunt pack off amazon today, here!
Hope you enjoyed some of these super fun outdoor activity ideas and items for this summer! Grab them before the summer vacations start so you are prepared!
