What does your LO play with/on outside?

westerngal · May 2010

We FINALLY got our (quite small) backyard landscaped, so our daughter can actually play out there for the first time ever. There's some grass, a small patio, and a fine-gravel-covered area. Now I don't know what to get for her to play with out there! Can you give me good ideas for things to play on/with in a small-ish backyard? TIA!

DS's absolute favourite is a ball.

Runners up are a slide and bubbles.

DD loves rocks! We have this little rock garden that she loves to go sit in and just play with the rocks! Lol

Small: bubbles, pin wheel, trucks, ball.

Bigger: play kitchen (we have an old one and keep it outside) and swing set.

bubbles, ball, water table, her little pool, beach ball, swing, watering can, and of course the hose!

We have the step 2 cottage, with the flower box. Ds loves it and I like it because it doubles as a storeroom for all their junk. It also gives him more shade to play in.

Bubbles, and he has a mulching lawn mower he likes. He's getting a bubble mower for his bday later this month. More than anything, DS just likes to run around and explore.

You could get a small play thing, like a kitchen, house, etc. We have a couple cute ones from resale shops. DS loves rocks, sticks, looking for worms... what a boy.

DS just plays with the dirt and rocks. I've taught him to be gentle with the flowers which he does (most of the time) and sometimes he'll go from flower to flower smelling them.
