Good Old-Fashioned Picks
Let’s start with a few outdoor fun classics, like bubbles, buckets of sidewalk chalk, jump ropes, and more! These are timeless toys that can’t be beat, and they are sure to take you back to when you were a kid!
- Just look at these bubble makers! We have several types from wands that produce one giant bubble to some that produce multiple bubbles. Bubbles can be messy for little hands, so we also have Fubbles in a no-spill container for the youngest kiddos. This Wow & Wonder set is perfect for the littlest scientists to explore bubbles!
- Sidewalk chalk provides hours of outdoor creativity and easily washes off the driveway or patio. Kids can trace their bodies in funny poses and then fill in the details. They can create a hopscotch court, find the perfect rock, and learn to play. The possibilities are endless.
- Check out these balloon toys! Buy a few to have on-hand and have balloon car or UFO balloon races, or see how far kids can launch the balloon helicopter or rocket balloon.
- If it’s time for a little competition, break out this Wicked BIG kickball for the older kids! Or draw a four-square court with that sidewalk chalk and play a game or two.
- There are lots of jump rope rhymes and streamer and yo-yo stunts to learn. Find games to play with a parachute when you need some non-competitive but cooperative play time. These things are so easy to pack up and take along to wherever you play and they get kids thinking and moving!

Here are some other ideas to keep everyone engaged while having a great time outdoors!
- This Planets Magnet Toss will be a favorite. Kids will learn about planets and work on hand-eye coordination at the same time!
- An inflatable easel for outdoor painting? YES! Add to the art supplies with some washable paints and paintbrushes for multiple kids to use at once. Then simply hose it off after use.
- Get Sandblox for your sandbox! Wet or kinetic sand works best with these and kids can create structures for hours.
- And how about the Magnetic Dinosaur Dart Game? Hang it up and play one side, then flip it over for another game. Keeping score will help kids work on math, but don’t tell them that!
- All of our stores have some unique outdoor toys that are sure to be one-of-a-kind hits! Our Paradise Valley Mall location has a selection of hoppy balls, paddle ball sets, and lawn bowling! Look for the Night Baseballs with LED lights inside, too!
