I work part time and look after my two lovely daughters the rest of the time. We don't have loads of physical play toys and am wondering about buying a trampoline? Or a mini bike? Or both?

What will they play with and not just fight over ?!

We've had an 10ft trampoline complete with net since my eldest was 2yrs old. Has been replaced once in 10 years as they didn't want to not out it up. At that size you can get on with the littles if you want too. Best thing we ever bought despite everyone telling me she was too small. (Only if you have a big enough garden though...)

Bubble machine, water/sand table, slide, pop up tunnel and playhouse I think are common to get lots of use out of.

I don't know why I only thought of outdoor toys. wooden train set is our most and longest used indoor toy.

I consider a trampoline an essential purchase. We bought a 10ft one too, it'll last them years. Mine are 2 and 4 and pretty much live on it.

I have spent lots buying stuff to entertain our nearly 3 year old whilst this is all going on.

So far we have got a big slide, a mud kitchen, a sand pit and loads of art/craft stuff!

@RaggieDolls thank you, I was looking for something like that for my little boys birthday. Just ordered!

Just be aware if you have to set up the trampoline on your own it can be really hard! Dh struggled to pull the springs to attach
