I ended up getting a fire pit cover (shower cap style) for it which works relatively well, but it would be better to have a cover meant for it. If I had it to do over again, I'd get a combo water/sand table (even if I might not use sand) with an included cover, like this - <a href="http://www.step2.com/p/Cascading-Cove-Sand-Water-Table" rel="nofollow">http://www.step2.com/p/Cascading-Cove-Sand-Water-Table</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2200239 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:53:50 +0000 cranberry 2200239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom just bought DD the Step2 Extreme Coaster for her 2nd birthday. She played with one when we visited my sister and she loved it, plus it seems like she should be able to use it for several years. I'm excited- it should be coming in the mail today. </p> <p>We also have a water table, small slide, and sandbox that have gotten a lot of use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199786 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 00:17:32 +0000 StbHisMrs 2199786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a water table, cozy coupe, trikes, bikes, scooters, balls, a climber with a slide. We'd like to get a big swing set, playhouse, and trampoline but we have zero room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199656 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 20:46:12 +0000 winniebee 2199656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water table, soccer goal, basketball hoop.

That's everything we have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199651 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 20:43:12 +0000 photojane 2199651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a playhouse growing up, and loved it! I wouldn't worry about the floor in the first one. The inside will get wet when it rains... it's made to go outdoors/get wet! </p> <p>We have a pool, slide, sandbox, and water table. They're all equally loved. When we move I'm going to get Sadie a tire swing and a mini trampoline. My friend got her girls a mini trampoline for Christmas, and all of our playgroup kids (ages 15m-3.5) go nuts over it. They stay in it almost the entire time we're there. The small size is perfect for little one, plus the springs are covered and there's a net, so no one can fall out. This is the one we're getting:</p> <p>[attach=1879/15/npg7g0.482x476.Screen-shot-2015-06-04-at-9.36.37-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199613 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 20:11:17 +0000 Mamasig 2199613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the cozy coupe, a water table, a small slide, basketball hoop, soccer goal, t ball set, baby pool, and swing. And we use all of it. My boys love being outside. The only thing we don't use often is the small bounce house because its stored in the shed. We'd like to get a playhouse next. DH also got a small camping tent for the boys but we haven't tried it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199528 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 19:15:07 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2199528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got K a water table, and she has played with it every single day for the entire week. There are some pretty cool ones with different features, too- might be fun.</p> <p>And yes- spiders are the entire reason i never used the playhouse (with a loft and skylight!) thag my dad built us as kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199492 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:59:19 +0000 Bao 2199492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That second one is cute! LO's would love a play house but we don't have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199486 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:55:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 2199486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: ohhh good call on the floor! I didn't even consider that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199481 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:51:24 +0000 charlotte 2199481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have that first one (neat and tidy cottage right?) and loooooove it but it's in our basement. I don't know about washing it outside because it has a floor ... So that might be tricky if water pooled inside. </p> <p>I LOVE the look of the second one. It looks like it has everything AND an open floor. If we had a nice big real yard I would totally want it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fav-outdoor-toys#post-2199473 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:45:06 +0000 sorrycharlie 2199473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a pool, cozy coupe, trike, balls, etc. </p> <p>we'd like to get DD something for the new backyard for her birthday in September (or suggest it to the ILs for the event this summer they give her a gift for). </p> <p>I feel like playhouses attract spiders... I'm a total arachnophobe. I am considering one of the more open ones though like below, so I could blast it with the hose inside from time to time, hahaha. Also maybe water table? Sand table or sand box? Ah! </p> [attach=1296/15/npg1z7.600x498.stp-045_1z.jpg] [attach=1296/15/npg1z8.600x410.vx-585_1z.jpg]
