Choosing the Right Outdoor Toys and Play Equipment @SearsCA #SearsBabysRoom

Disclosure: I am part of the Sears The Baby’s Room Ambassador program with Mom Central Canada and I receive special perks as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions on this blog are my own. Please use all equipment as recommended by manufacturer and be sure to follow installation manuals properly.

I believe that PLAY is the primary way in which children learn about the world around them.  There are many benefits to bringing children outside to play.  Here are a few toys I have selected to enhance and highlight the benefits of play. Visit Sears Canada for more great products.

Fine Motor & Pretend Play Skills

This Budget friendly toy is priced at $59.99.
I have my eye on the Castle Adventures Sandbox for my girls 4th birthday next month.

This sand box is top of my list of must-haves for any young child.  Made by a trusted brand, Little Tikes, the ramp flips over on this sand box shuts when not in use.  Children will be inspired to use their imagination and fine motor skills as they manipulate the moving parts and scoop the sand.  
Tip: Add ground cinnamon to sand to keep critters out.

• large sand play area with 10 toys included, 100 lb. sand capacity
• castle has 2 removable turrets with chutes, working drawbridge, ramp doubles as a lid to help keep sand dry

Large Motor Exercise & Coordination

I don't mean to play favourites, but this
Little Tikes Trampoline retails at $199.99.

By age three children should be able to hop with both feet off the ground. This Little Tikes trampoline encourages them to exercise their large muscle groups.  Coordination will be challenged as children experience the rebounding of the trampoline.

Physical Endurance & Social Skills

Backyard Club House with Tunnel retails for $1699.99

This deluxe play set offers a chance to use all the skills mentioned above and more.  It seems as though it would offer hours and even years of quality play experiences, with many opportunities to share the space as well.  Tip:  Create a soft surface around the play set by using mulch, recycled tire chips, or sand.  A recommended soft surface depth is 12 inches.
