This is going to be short and sweet because I am exhausted and need to hit the sack! Our friends from Amarillo and Fort Worth came to town this weekend and we had a great time, but we stayed pretty busy, and stayed up WAY too late last night playing games. It's hard to stop, though when you don't get to see them very often.
Anyways...I just need a little input. Im looking for 'outside toy' ideas. Saylor is 15 months old--what is or was your child/grandchild/niece/nephew's favorite outside toy around this age. Saylor loves to be outside but I would like some new things to keep her entertained (or maybe something new to keep ME entertained). All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (And she already has cars and trikes).
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Kim and Josh both loved having little yard tools complete with the wheelbarrel. They also liked the Bubble Mower but I'm not sure they make those anymore. Another thing is water painting. Give her a small bucket of water and a brush and let her "paint" designs on the patio. The water evaporates so there are endless hours of painting without running out of paper and you don't have to worry about getting paint on her clothes.
Walmart and Toys r us has the lawnmowers...BUBBLE AND MORE BUBBLES...the ones that do it them self...so you don't have to blow yourself...Foster and Charcey have a littletike picnic table and they eat, color and play on it lots...anything to do with water...when it makes up it's mind to stay warm...Have fun...they want to be outside 24-7...if they ever get the grass in accross the street at the park will help me...if you are in town come play with us...we would love to play with Saylor. Love Robin
Those are both great ideas. My kids do love the bubble mower. Of course, Kayt's favorite right now is her fred flinstone car. You know what I am talking about? We do lots of water painting and sidewalk chalk. They play on their little tykes slide and their tricycle. And their favorite of all... the exercise sized trampoline. It drives me nuts because Noah likes for me to lay on the ground so he can jump over me and then Kayt tries to do it too and she's not big enough, but they LOVE it!
I bought Caleb a Cozy Coupe for his birthday. It's the Red car with yellow top that they flinstone around in. They come with a removeable floor board though, so you can keep it in and push her around until she gets ready to push it herself. I know they have a really cute girly one too!
