Outside Play
Summer-time staples
My kids LOVE to climb. You may test your relationship putting it together, but it will be worth it for the hours of fun the kids will have playing on it. We've also added a hammock to ours for a comfy spot to relax.
Lifetime Dome Climber & Reviews | Wayfair
No childhood is complete without an outdoor playhouse! From the oldest to the youngest, this gets used daily in the summer!
Little Tikes Cape Cottage Playhouse w/ Door
Another summer staple. Water fun without the hassle of keeping a kiddie pool clean (especially with dogs around)
Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table
Our favorite chalk. The Easter Bunny brings this every spring and it lasts the entire summer and then some!
Crayola Ultimate Washable Chalk 64ct Bulk
Every truck-loving kiddo needs one of these for the sandbox or pile of dirt outback. My kids love this one and the excavator!

Convenience for when you're on the go but don't need the mess

Goodnight Moon (Reissue) by Margaret Wise Brown (Board Book)
One of my favorite board books to read at bedtime. My kids love the moon and I know this book by heart for as many times as we've read it!

Favorite Toys
When you want to keep the kiddos entertained but are trying to be mindful of the time spent watching TV. These are just a few of the favorites.
The TonieBox is AMAZING! Pricey, but worth the money in my opinion. Screen free entertainment with so many characters to choose from. We also love the Creative Tonies that you can add your own content to.
Playtime Puppy Toniebox 1 Starter Set - Light Blue
For the kids who love trucks like mine. These are durable and easy to pack for on the go.
Aigitoy Toddler Car Toys 1-3 Yrs, BPA Free
Santa brought this last Christmas and it has been a toy that continues to be a hit. I appreciate that it is screen-like but encourages taking the Pixie out for out-of-lantern experiences too. There are matching games, pattern games, and it encourages...
