Playing outdoors gives kids the chance to be active, use their energy and stay in good shape. Nowadays, with the popularity of video games that kids play using portable gadgets like tablets and smartphones, kids become more sedentary and could likely become overweight.
To encourage the kids to spend some time outdoors, it would be a good idea to buy them toys that are designed for outdoor play. The kids can enjoy playing and will be more likely to spend more time playing outside the house.
I have three girls. When they were young, they play outdoors using their glides, volleyball, badminton or bike. Now, what other toys do you think would encourage playing outside? I searched online and found 10 toys for outdoor play that girls would want to play with. The first 7 on the list are good outdoor toys for toddlers, while the last three are more suited for older girls.
1. Trampolines
Some kids like to jump. If you think your little girl would enjoy this activity, a trampoline might be a good outdoor toy for her. You might want to get a trampoline like the Skywalker Trampoline with Enclosure for safety and spring pad for lots of jumping fun. The enclosure locks with the mat so your child is secure within the boundaries of the trampoline. This trampoline is made with weather-resistant and durable material so it can last many years for your child to enjoy.
2. Trikes
If your little girl doesn't know how to ride a two-wheel bike yet, giving her a pink trike like the Razor RipRider 360 Caster Trike is a good option. This trike brings on a new level of outdoor fun. This one can drift - and spin as well, thanks to the inclined casters. It comes with a flat-free front tire and rubber grips on the handlebar. The double crown fork design makes a hot and tough trike on the block.
3. Little Tikes Princess Cozy Coupe Ride-On
The Little Tikes Princess Cozy Coupe Ride-On is a toy car for little girls. With a pretty pink color, this is a ride-on toy that young girls will surely love. It is the closest thing to a car that they can drive at a young age. Equipped with realistic features like a door that opens and closes, a working horn and a gas can, this is surely going to be a good addition to the nursery or even it the outdoor playground.
One thing that makes it even better is that it actually moves, allowing children to mimic the action of driving. The wheels in the front can spin at 360 degrees. This toy is recommended for kids aged one and a half to five years old. When they are young, the floorboard can be attached and parents can guide their movement. Once the time comes that they can already stand and walk, the floorboard can be removed and kids can control the Little Tikes Princess Cozy Coupe Ride-On on their own.
