Active Play

For the kid with energy to burn. Simple games and ride-ons that get bodies moving without a lot of setup. Grab one and head outside.

Play Structures

The big-ticket backyard pieces we researched, debated and finally committed to. Climbers, playhouses, mud kitchens and playsets. If you are trying to decide, this is where I would start.

Water Play

Water play is how we survive summer. From the first warm day to the last, these are the sprinklers, splash pads and water tables that get daily use in our yard. Grab a towel and start here.

Sensory Play

Sand, scoops, digging and pouring. This is the messy, hands-on stuff that keeps little ones busy the longest. These are the sandboxes and sensory tables we reach for again and again.
