DH and I need to buy a gift for our niece (turning 9). The only hints we've been given are "some kind of outside toy"
Any ideas? Is a kite dumb?
-
Chinese jump rope. You can do it with a chair if no grown ups are around. Binoculars. Razor Scooter.
-
Our niece is turning 9 and is into science. What about one of those kits where a caterpillar turns into a butterfly?
I guess it also depends on how much you want to spend?

I think kites are awesome....

Where do you live? For some reason I thought snowshoes.

Sidewalk chalk or this stencil set: http://www.amazon.com/ALEX-Toys-Sidewalk-Mandala-Designs/dp/B00IMVRX40/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1464701618&sr=1-1&keywords=outdoor+toys
This Pogo jumper looks fun! http://www.amazon.com/Kidoozie-Foam-Pogo-Jumper-Encourages/dp/B00704IO48/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1464701481&sr=8-4&keywords=outdoor+toys

@winter_wonder: a new kind of outside water sprinkler/summer water toy?
-
@808love @REGBERADAISY: Thanks for the ideas ladies! I was thinking in the $25 range.
@silva: Thanks
I just needed some affirmation that kites weren't too babyish or something!@erinbaderin: Ooo, good idea! We're in the midwest so they would definitely get some use in the winter.
@anagram: They have a pool, so maybe I will look into something fun to use in the water?
@josina: Those chalk stencils look perfect, I know she loves coloring and crafts.

Fun diving toys?
-
@winter_wonder: I see adults flying really cool and complex kites at the park all the time
-
Outdoor volleyball or badminton set??
-
Since they have a pool, how about a cool novelty floatie? I've seen funny ones like pretzels, pizza slices, donuts, and swans.
A slip 'n slide is always a hit. I've seen fort building kits that look awesome.

For some reason my immediate thought was some sort of little garden / growing kit. But I don't know if those exist for kids.
A nice kite would be cool too. I remember flying kites with my dad when I was maybe that age and loving it. It's one of my best memories! We did it in a football field near home, took them to the beach, etc.
