Outdoor "Toy" for 1 year old?

DH & I like to sit outside by our patio set in the nice weather. Anything I can get DD for her to join us and keep occupied (and more "contained"). We used the bouncer over last Fall but she is almost 1 and over that. Not walking yet but crawling and we have 2 dogs so I don't want to give her free range over the yard....

    I just got our daughter an inflatable kiddie pool. If the weather is warm she can just splash around while we watch :-) throw a couple bath toys in there and she should be entertained for a while.

    I second the inflatable pool idea or a water table.  My youngest turned 1 last July and had a blast playing with the water table.  She wasn't quite able to walk yet but could pull herself up and enjoyed splashing around!

    I third the pool idea. If its still chilly you can do the ball pit balls in it instead of water!

    Water table and sandbox are giant hits here with both my girls (22 months and 4.5 yrs).

    You could set up one of those play yards (not pack n play, but the hexagon gated play area products) so she's in an enclosed space where she can play with toys and crawl around while keeping the dogs away from her.

    I'm trying to get my hands on a kangaroo climber but my 1 year old is walking, climbing and lives slides.

    We have a little tikes garden that he has reall enjoyed playing with for the last 6 months. Got it on kijiji.

    Blow up pool to double as a ball pit or get some card board boxes and set her in them to color.

    My little boy loves sidewalk chalk-- although it's messy! We also like to fill a Tupperware bowl with water and use a paintbrush to "paint" the driveway with water... Bubbles are fun too!
