Outdoor toys for 4yo

[vanillacourage]

I was coming in to say stomp rockets. 

DS1 likes water toys, if you live where it gets warm/hot in the summer.  Either Slip N Slides, or the ones that spray when you hook them up to your garden hose.  We also have the requisite t-ball set, soccer goal, and surprisingly what he really liked last summer was badminton.

Bike, scooter, balls?

Depending on how you feel about weapons, mine like to play war with swords, Nerf guns (or water guns), etc.

We get a lot of use our of our slip-n-slide, too.

Sand/water table

DS is 4, and is all about digging right now. He has a giant metal dump truck and all sorts of "constructions" equipment, as he calls it. A sandbox with a cover is our next purchase for the backyard. He does get really dirty, but he will happily dig for hours, so it's worth it.

We're getting DS magnatiles and Legos for his 5th birthday in June. For 4 we got him a good bike with training wheels.

My DS is 4 and he loves his stomp rockets. He also has a bike with training wheels, a water table, a basketball hoop and a kids picnic table that get a lot of use in the summer.
