Summer Days! The Best Outdoor Toys For Ages 1 and Up.

Hi friends!

Aren’t weekends just the best?

But summer weekends!? Even better! 

It’s so fun thinking back to last summer I did not so much at all because I had a newborn baby. But now it’s fun to enjoy the sunshine with my little man. 

I had a hard time thinking of summer toys that I thought bub (our nickname) would enjoy. 

I am learning that the attention span is nonexistent in these little ones. And that the tantrums are constant. 

So here in Michigan we had a super hot weekend and we finally got to enjoy all of our outdoor summer toys we accumulated with bub turning 1! 

I have rounded up a few that I think are perfect for 1-year-olds and up! 

Bub has been absolutely loving his water table and truck! The truck he can’t yet get the hang of that he can actually walk with it but he loves being pushed around. And the big wheels on this one is perfect for rides in the backyard!

Wagon rides in the backyard have also been a fav! I absolutely love this radio flyer wagon. So much storage space, two seats with seatbelts and once again with the big wheels for rough terrain!

Small swing sets and slides are also so great for the younger ones! He loves climbing all around this swing set and it’s fun to watch him.

Who else just loves their backyard? I enjoy being out in ours so much just relaxing and playing!

The last thing we have but I don’t have a picture of is this awesome bike! It’s so fun for short walks and bub loves it. It also turns into a little bike for him when he’s old enough so you defiantly get your moneys worth!

As for me? I enjoyed a great 3 day weekend full of family. 

Oh and High Noons which If you haven’t tried, you must! They are so refreshing. I’m not much of a vodka soda girl but I love grapefruit and I did really enjoy them. 

Plus I am now sporting a really nice sunburn! My first of the Summer and I totally forgot how much it sucks to sleep with a sunburn! 

You know what the best part about this weekend was though? 

I forgot about the laundry piling up in my room. 

I forgot about the dirty dishes filling my sink.

I forgot about the toys scattered around my house and the pillows that get thrown on the floor each day. 

And you know what? I loved it.

These days we won’t ever get back, so I am trying to soak up every fun filled day I can with my guys! 

Especially in the sunshine!

  5. That is quite a sunburn but, since I have one to, I like to think summer is on a role!
    Wagon rides are awesome! When I was a kid, my siblings and I would pile into our wagon and ride down hills. 🙂

  11. I have no doubt the water table is a huge hit. Wait until he can take off in his truck! I love how we can forget our messy house and the to-do list when we’re enjoying our families. Glad you had a good time.

  12. My kids loved their water table and their little cars. I miss those simple summer days with little ones. Now we’ve moved onto trampolines and tubing behind the boat.

  14. I am an assistant toddler teacher to 18-24 month olds and we do water play twice a week with the children every summer. Last year we used a water table with the babies in our class and they loved it! These are definitely all great toys for young children of all abilities.

  18. Yes! My boys and I have been loving spending some much time outdoors. My oldest has just learned to ride a bike with training wheels so he constantly wants to be outside riding. We have also spend a lot of time at the pool. And laundry can always wait!!
