Most kids I know don’t need more toys! What they need are experiences. Gifts that will get them playing outside, gifts that will bring out their creativity, and gifts that will get them thinking!
Here is a list of go-to gifts that are more about the experience than the toy! Let’s turn off the screen time and get these kids doing more!
Keep reading for gifts that will get your child outside!
ENJOY!

2. Razor 360 Drifting Trike: It might look just like a classic trike, but this revamped bike enables kids to perform sick tricks, like drifting and 360-degree turns! And with a 160-pound weight limit, it’ll last a long time before a child will outgrow it! NOTE: My girls ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BIKE. (And yes, I have definitely tried this bike out as an adult! ha!)
3. Body Bumpers: Two inflatable body suits that allow kids to bump into each other! We’ve seen these things in action, and it makes for some hilarious bouncing fun! Recommended for ages 4-12.
4. XL Giant Jenga: Such a great game to have outside for the family to play! Extra-large blocks make it much more exciting, of course!

7. Fairy Garden Kit: There’s something about fairy gardens that little girls just adore. Such a sweet gift for a sweet little girl!
8. Razor E100 Electric Scooter: Advertised for up to 10mph and up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time! Kick start, high-torque, and hand-operated front brake. For ages 8 and up and up to 120 lbs. Our girls and all of their friends LOVE this electric scooter!

10. Gym Dandy Teeter-Totter: One of the greatest outdoor toys that we own! The bump-absorber reduces impact when the seat reaches the ground. And adults, you can get on this too since it supports riders up to 300 lbs in total weight!
11. Wahii Waterslide: Parents, do NOT hesitate with this one! I am telling you, this is one of the greatest things that we have ever owned for kids AND adults, PERIOD. I cannot emphasize how much fun we’ve had with this! 75 feet x 12 feet of waterslide! (*Note: the body bumpers mentioned earlier in this post are also super convenient to be used to slide down this waterslide with!)
12. Easy Fill Water Balloons: I will never, ever, EVER go back to manually filling up water balloons. Nope. Not happening. These things are absolutely amazing. Every year we let the kids have a water balloon fight and we buy like eight sets of these. Filling up all those balloons takes less than a few minutes! No stress. Loads of fun.

14. Swing: We own a swing of this same brand and absolutely love it. The girls and all of their friends use it like crazy. It is durable, safe, and provides literally hours of fun outdoors.
15. Trampoline: BEST PURCHASE EVER. Hands down. Our girls love this trampoline. Our girls’ friends love this trampoline. It has been used above and beyond the cost of what we paid. The perfect size for having a few friends jump at the same time. And the net provides safety that we as parents are incredibly appreciative of.
16. Beamo Frisbee: So my girls have never really liked playing with a Frisbee until we got THIS one. It glides so much easier than a regular frisbee. It’s easier for them to use and therefore they use it a lot more often!

22. Garden Tool Set: It’s amazing what a kid can do with a simple garden tool. This set will surely keep them entertained outside for hours!
23. Sandbox Digger: What kid wouldn’t want one of these? Seriously. If you don’t own a sandbox, just make a dirt pile in the back of the yard!
24. Pickleball, Badminton, and Tennis Net Set:My girls love playing pickleball and tennis! We set this up in our driveway and my husband and I play games with our girls.

I love the entire theme of this post! I try to buy toys that keep my children active and/or outside. I’ve bought several of the ones you’ve listed in the past and even have a few for this year. This year they are getting the stomp rocket, nerf gun tactical kit, and bug catcher (From the ones you’ve listed)! I found one that had a set of two on Amazon. Great ideas!
Thanks girl! I love finding things that are more than just “toys”. So if I can find a toy that also gets my kids outside and active, then it’s a win-win!
We have to get out kids playing outside more! It’s an important key to a happy healthy family. And now I’m seeing Body Bumpers, are you kidding me?? I’m SOLD!
Haha, yeah the body bumpers are soooo funny! It’s hilarious to see them bumping into each other in those things! And I’m not gonna lie… I may or may not have put them on myself to try out! 😛
I love gifts that get my kids outside. Everyone in the house is happier when we’ve had fresh air and exercise!
Oh, I totally agree with that! Sunshine brings on the happiness!!!
So many great finds and you mentioned some of the popular toys this season. This is so helpful
Thanks girl! I appreciate you! I know how I personally love a good gift guide, so I’m hoping this gift guide is helpful to others!
