Garden toy recommendations for 2 year old?

[wishIwasonholiday10]

Can anyone recommend some good garden toys for a 2 year old? We don’t have a huge garden so want to choose carefully. We have a small area of concrete (too small for ride on toys) and mostly grass. She loves water so probably looking at getting a water table of some sort. Would you get a separate sand pit or are those water and sand tables better? Are there any other toys that are great at keeping your toddler entertained outside (and distracting them from wanting to eat stones but maybe that’s just our problem).

Combined sand and water table is great as long as you don't mind clean up. A also have a kid kitchen - my twins love making "soup" in the little saucapans and then washing them up in a big bowl of soapy water. Hours of fun while I sit on a garden chair with baby and book 😄

Mud kitchen. Silly autocorrect...

Just a water table here for our small garden. I didn't go down the sand route as I didn't want to be cleaning up cement all the time. Give them lots of plastic toys to drop in and fish out or different cups/pots and pans to play with. Hours of fun!

We also have quite a small garden. We have a large tub of megablocks for outdoors as they're so rugged- indoors is all the Duplo, magnetic tiles and so on. We also have a swing, mud kitchen, tuff tray and a metal frame to put it on, and a gravel pit with lots of diggers. The Green Toys brand are the most hardy for outdoor play.

In the summer the best things are a pop up tent, picnic blanket and teddies for a picnic, and a bubble machine.

A playhouse. We had a wooden one from B&Q that lasted years. Stored outdoor toys in there too in the winter.

Get a little pretend sink from Amazon! The taps work (battery powered) and it comes with dishes to wash etc. my 2 yo LOVES hers (pink one - was about £20) and spends ages playing with it as can turn the tap on and off! We also have a small slide and a ball and she plays with them lots.
