Kids love technology, sure, and a bit of technology isn’t bad. It COULD even be good. However, I’m always looking for toys, games, crafts, and activities that keep my kids OFF screens while still promoting independent play, entertaining them so I can get things done, and hopefully encouraging them to play well TOGETHER. Here are some of my favorites because my kids actually come back to them time after time and they play for more than 5 minutes! Many are age-specific (I have a wide range of kids!) so I’ll add that to the description if I feel it is helpful (ex- one game says 3+ but my 2YO loves it and plays a lot even if it’s not quite “following game rules”).

Toddler summer comes down to one question on repeat: what are we doing today? This is the list I keep for that — 15 Amazon picks that cover a whole season with a 1 to 4 year old, organized so you can grab the one thing you are missing instead of scrolling all of it. Water Toys and Inflatable Toys are where I would start, because the Little Tikes sprinkler and the Intex kiddie pool buy you a full afternoon in the backyard for very little money. Swim Suits is all UPF 50+ long-sleeve rash guards in boys' and girls' options, plus quick-dry water shoes for splash pads and hot pool decks, and there are two mineral sunscreens here on purpose, because toddler skin and chemical SPF rarely get along. Summer Toys is the sand and funnel play that packs for the beach, Riding Toys is the classic Radio Flyer trike for the stroller-strike phase, and Electronics is the kid-proof Fire tablet with the 2-year guarantee for car rides and the hour nobody wants to go back outside. Most picks run $10 to $35, with the trike and the tablet as the only real spends. Made for first toddler summers, grandparents stocking a backyard, and anyone with a pool trip on the calendar. Save it before swim sizes and splash pads sell out in June.
