List of Best Outdoor Toys for Kids in India
Rocket Launcher
A fun game where you can launch 3 rockets at a go by stomping on the launcher. The harder you stomp, the higher the rocket goes. Kids will love to stomp on the launcher and watch the rockets fly high into the air. Along with being fun, this STEM-based toy also teaches about gravity and force and builds motor skills.
Adjustable Basket Ball
We were gifted this by my sister-in-law on my son’s second birthday and we are still using it. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Please buy quality products like this one because this will last you for years The height can be adjusted from 2.5 ft to 5 ft.
3-Piece Gardening Tools Set
This set includes a trowel, rake, and shovel. Trust me, this is enough to keep him/her occupied for hours. If you enjoy gardening your child can accompany you with this set.
Playhouse Tent
This 3 piece tent set includes a triangular play tent house, tunnel, and a square play cube. Kids can move around in different zones keeping this playset fun and exciting! Even cats and dogs can enjoy it! What I like about this set is that is very easy to set up. You can use the tunnel and tent separately too.
Water and Sand Table
If you do not have much space, you can buy a water and sand table for your kids. They are easy to set up. You just need to put water/sand and you are good to go. It’s just not sand and water that can be filled in this table. You can fill it with leaves or any other sensory material, and your kids can play with water tables all year long. Personally, I would suggest not to put sand and water together, within minutes water will be in the sand section, and sand will be in the water section, and you’ll be left with a mess.
Slide
All the kids love slides. You can’t go wrong with a slide for an outdoor toy. Now you get a variety of slides for your home. Little Tikes slide are very sturdy and their color also does not fade. But they are a little expensive. Indian made are affordable but their color fades out very soon.
Inflatable Pools
Summer means pool time. From tiny pools for one to large ones for the entire family, there are several options for both kids and adults! I personally like the Intex snap set paddling water pool . There is no need to fill the air. Just fill it with water and kids are ready for a splash. Intex is the best brand in this segment.
Automatic Bubble Making Machine
A bubble machine is yet another toy loved by kids of all ages. You just need to install the battery then pour it into the bubble water and press the button to start. The battery-operated saves your energy. Kids love chasing the bubbles trying to pop them.
Chalk
Just buy some colorful chalks and ask your child to draw, scribble whatever he/she wishes on the sidewalk. Search “sidewalk chalk toddler” on Pinterest for a huge variety of creative ideas
Sandboxes
They are so expensive in India. But if you wish to splurge you can buy for your child. .Sandboxes come with a cover to protect the sand from animals, bugs, rain, and wind. I have made a deflated mini pool as my son’s sandbox. He loves playing with his construction toys in it.
Beach Set
This beach set is not limited to played at beach. You can play in your garden too. This beach set comes with a bucket and many other tools. A bucket allows carrying sand or water from one side to the other. Your child can use the rake and spade to dig out sand or smoothen out an area to build your sandcastle. The molds can be used to create attractive patterns and designs on the sandcastle.
Ball
You can never underestimate the power of a ball. Beach ball, soccer ball, tennis ball, rubber playground ball – a ball is a must-have.
Watering Can
Kids love watering flowers, gardens, grass, or anything they can find!
Trampoline
Trampolines are perfect to burn off the energy, When buying trampolines for kids, please buy the ones which have safety nets. Or if no net then the ones which have sturdy handle they can grip as they jump.
I hope this list of best outdoor toys for kids in India is useful to you.
