Outdoor toys for toddlers

[graysor]

What do your toddlers like to play with in the garden?

I’d like to get a few bits to encourage dd 2.5 to play more outside, so looking for ideas / recommendations.

She has a scooter and balance bike and a gardening set for digging but not much else.

Thanks!

Sand pit and a water tray. Hours of entertainment.
Paint sticks are also a big hit. They are like Pritt sticks but paint. Can paint on windows or stones. Genius

Paint goes down very well here (2yo so it’s an outdoor only activity at home!). Anything with water (watering can, water tray, paddling pool, washing up bowl 😂). She has a ride on toy and a Wendy house (Just a cheapy one) and then some bath toys (the ones that have been used in the bathroom and I’ve replaced - I put the older ones in the garden for a bit until they are worse for wear then throw them out).

Mine have toy kitchen outside - bought a little tikes plastic one second hand so it doesn’t really matter that it’s outside! It’s the most played with thing and has been for years as they can put water and mud in it to make cakes etc and then it can easily be hosed off.
