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?

I take her blocks to play with in back yard on a blanket

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.

We play with kinetic sand outside!

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.
I am also going to bring out my son's old tent. I think he'll love that.

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!

I brought her little stove and pots outside for the first time last weekend and she had a blast cooking leaves.

@SugarplumsMom: Yes, I did something similar, last year i brought out the play kitchen since my son didn't seem interested in it any more. 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!

@autumnlove: smart! She gets it everywhere

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.
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.

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

We do a lot of painting and craft stuff outside, as it's so much easier to clear up and I don't have to worry about him being flamboyant with his brushes! I wouldn't take playdoh outside in the summer as id worry it would dry out quickly.
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!
