items I try to keep my kids playing outside as much as possible as soon as it starts to get nice out. In order to facilitate this, I make sure we have all kinds of activities we can keep occupied with.
There are a few DIYs I've done I will try to find som...

Toys
This is the BEST outdoor toy we have I think. And I built the kids a custom mud kitchen. Lol. I love that you can get extensions and that it wipes down easily. I was thinking about bringing it inside for the winter, but the pieces do collect water in...
Kids Roller Coaster
We first got this in winter for when it was too cold to go outside. The thought was we could maybe use it to tire out the boy and he'd sleep through the night. (No.)
It's been good anyways, and good practice for counting because we will count each j...
Little Tikes - 3-ft Trampoline
I got this to use for outdoor summer storage and it works perfectly. I got bins from the dollar store, and then a bunch of little outdoor toys like bubbles and buckets and that kind of thing. It's great to be able to put all the small things away so ...
Step2 Kids Tool Storage Chest
Water Play

Step 2 water table

It's not one of the more "kid customized" ones but what's important is it has good water output/reach and my kids have a blast trying to dodge/run through
Kids Yard Sprinkler Water Toy for Summer Fun
Protection
I've used this on myself for YEARS, and now on my kids as well. Not once have they burned (knock on wood). It is thick going on but even if you don't get to reapply it really holds up in the water be it pools, lakes, oceans, spray parks, water tables...
Coppertone Waterbabies Sunscreen Lotion SPF 60
My neighbor recommended this to me at the beginning of summer. I haven't ever seen a stick sunscreen before, it is SO easy to apply!! And I feel like it gives way better coverage on kids much easier
Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Face Stick - 13g
My backyard is basically a Step 2 flyer, but they have great stuff! We have a regular picnic table in our backyard, but from the day we got this one my kids have wanted eat every meal outside at their table. Its a lot easier for my daughter who's too...
