Finally moved into a house with a garden and been looking for some garden toys. What do your 4/5 year olds play with in the garden? and especially if their friends come around?

Sand and water table. Mud kitchen with old pans if you can find them. Slime, chalks, make paint out of yogurt and paint concrete if you have a terraced bit.

We have a TP explorer with slide which my 5 year old loves. Also have a trampoline and sand table. Chalk is always popular too.

I got this swing and slide set and also got the sand box with it perfect for summer and to be honest even in the cold UK weather right now they still out on it. They do have a plastic range aswell
