With summer coming and school/preschool almost out, it can be hard to find ways to keep kids entertained. We have a couple of outdoor items that are perfect for great weather. Here are some of our favorites:
1. Kiddie Pool - I got a Kiddie Pool last year and it was awesome! My kids love it! They wade in it, dump balls/toys in it, splash around. It's a pretty inexpensive item and a bargain when you consider how much entertainment kids can get from it. Since the weather has warmed up, we've been using it everyday. My kids will spend a long time playing in it.
2. Bubbles
- Every year, I buy multiple big bottles of bubbles. When my kids were little, I would blow the bubbles for them. As my kids have gotten older, they want to blow bubbles themselves resulting in many spills. I usually invest in the bigger container of bubbles. Some stores only sell bubble solution in spring/summer so it's nice to stock up while it's available. It's hard to find bubble solutions in the fall!
3. Sidewalk Chalk - Sidewalk chalk is versatile and fun! You can use it to make art, hopscotch, practice writing skills, outdoor games and more. My son recently started drawing car "tracks" for his cars to drive on. There's numerous things that kids can do with chalk.
4. Sand Bucket and Shovel - I do weeding and gardening sometimes when my kids are playing outside. Sometimes they like to 
"help" too and it's nice that they have their own shovels to use and pails instead of always trying to steal my gardening spade. It's also great to have on days that we go to the beach or lake.5. Playground/Outdoor Ball - We have a couple of playground outdoor balls that are great for kicking or playing catch. My kids don't play with these all the time, but it's great for them to practice catching, throwing, kicking. It's fun to also to have balls around to play kickball and/or other outdoor games.
What are some of your outdoor "must-haves" for kids?
