We got a free cozy coupe and a $5 water table last year. Amazon's deal of the day is on some little tikes stuff. There is a gardening table that would make a great inexpensive water table and a fire truck you can ride that squirts water. </p> <p>We have this and it's a lot of fun and not very big or expensive. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051VTXVA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465844771&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=splash+sink&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=411rL3-ur8L&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051VTXVA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465844771&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=splash+sink&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=411rL3-ur8L&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-toys-for-young-toddlers#post-2566243 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 14:02:21 +0000 FaithFertility 2566243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hose!

DS also loves being hosed down with the hose. We have all this stuff on our patio which we have lined with green AstroTurf rugs to give a little buffer for falls. We have a kid size picnic table en route. Most of this stuff is Step2 brand products, which tend to fold flat when possible for storage and are relatively affordable in price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-toys-for-young-toddlers#post-2566229 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:54:20 +0000 mfa_lady 2566229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Good ideas!

Slide? Ball pit? Water table?</p> <p>DD is 17 months old and stands by the door saying "OUTSIDE!" all day long. The only problem is that once we get out there, there's nothing for her to do except run around the yard. I'm looking for some good outdoor play stuff for her. </p> <p>She has a swing at my parents' house that she loves, but a huge outdoor play set isn't in the cards for us right now. Looking for semi-portable (like, can put in the garage when it snows), low maintenance (I'm also pregnant, ha), super fun toys for her. Bonus points for links! :) </p>
