I wouldn't take playdoh outside in the summer as id worry it would dry out quickly.<br /> Watch out for sand if you have any, I let my DS take all his little hot wheels cars into the sandpit and it took me a lifetime to get all the sand out of their interiors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2569707 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 13:23:04 +0000 caterw 2569707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything but stuffed animals can go outside- blocks, books, art stuff... We don't have a yard so DD doesn't have a lot of outside toys so she gets bored playing with the few we do have pretty quickly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2569462 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 09:33:27 +0000 Cherrybee 2569462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E's favourite game is "swimming", where her water table becomes a swimming pool for her little people. When they get out, they're really cold so they wrap up in towels made of kitchen roll - then they go swimming again. </p> <p>Painting outside is great fun. We use wallpaper (lining paper) and make painty footprints. You can also mix paint, washing up liquid and water in a bowl, blow bubbles in it with a straw, then put paper over the top - it makes a great print. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2569452 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 09:26:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 2569452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: smart!

Once I brought it outside, he fell in love with it and had a difficult time putting it in the recycling bin at the end of the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2568375 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:13:41 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2568375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought her little stove and pots outside for the first time last weekend and she had a blast cooking leaves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2568016 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:24:20 +0000 mediagirl 2568016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. We have a patio she can take any toy she wants out onto as long as the pool isn't being used and the hose isn't on. We play board games on the patio! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2568012 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:21:59 +0000 looch 2568012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kind of do this, I always bring stuff out for when we sit by the pool. It could be stickers, card games, paint and paper, etc. Even board games would be fun outside.</p> <p>I am also going to bring out my son's old tent. I think he'll love that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2568003 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:17:33 +0000 autumnlove 2568003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We play with kinetic sand outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2567911 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:16:45 +0000 KT326 2567911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son always brings inside toys outside. He'll bring cars and trucks or action figures. We even let him build a train track outside last summer. That was a huge hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2567890 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:07:07 +0000 FaithFertility 2567890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take her blocks to play with in back yard on a blanket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-indoor-toys-outside#post-2566937 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:00:00 +0000 Bao 2566937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you ever bring indoor toys outside for your LO to play with? The girls are already bored with their outdoor toys and it's only mid June! I was thinking of bringing things like Play-doh or art stuff out to play with on the picnic table. Or Little People to play with on a blanket, things that could easily be wiped down if needed. I don't know how exciting it would be since they play with it inside, but maybe the change of scenery would help? </p>
