Yay, winter is over and the nice weather is on its way! Time to play outside and enjoy the nice weather. It sometimes takes some time for children to get used to playing outside and being active after the cold and wet period. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun games and toy options to get outdoor play going again after the winter period. With the popular outdoor toys from VanZus, every child will experience unforgettable playing adventures!

Take advantage of every suitable moment to let your child play outside. Whether it's between naps, after school or during the summer holidays. Playing outside is not only great fun, but also very important for the growth and development of your child. Playing outside gives free rein to the imagination and creates new friendships. And don't forget: you also improve your fitness and coordination while playing outside. How? Just look at how active and agile your child is. Running, climbing and jumping, your little one will stay in top shape!

But what is really suitable outdoor toys for your mini? I'll take you through the most popular options when it comes to outdoor toys.

For racing monsters: from balance bike to the Scoot & Ride

The most popular outdoor toys these days are of course the scooter and the balance bike and scooter in one (the Highwaykick) from Scoot and Ride! Is your child a real racing monster? Then Scoot and Ride cannot be missed. Or how about cycling, roller skating or inline skating? There is always an option that suits the age and skill level of your child. Don't forget the helmet when cycling, skating or scootering to protect your child's head.

Traditional outdoor toys

What else should not be missed when it comes to popular outdoor toys are the traditional games such as ring throwing, boules/boccia, croquet and bowling/skittles from brands such as Liewood, Kid's Concept, Nobodinoz. These are great games that your child can play with family and friends. Keep score and the winner will of course win eternal fame!

Old time favorites: skipping rope & sidewalk chalk

A jump rope is another great option when it comes to outdoor games. Sing one of the many jump rope songs with your feet not touching the rope. A great challenge while your child also works on his or her fitness. Nobodinoz, Little Dutch and Kid's Concept have really nice ones! Would you rather be quiet and creative? Sidewalk chalk is then the perfect option. Let your child create the most colorful works of art on the sidewalk or give your street a cool makeover from chalk!

For little adventurers: tipi tent/wigwam

But there are many more popular outdoor toys. How about a play tent or teepee/wigwam? The tepee tent is inspired by traditional Indian tents and offers a safe and cozy place for children to play and imagine. VanZus has tepees from Kid's Concept, Little Dutch, Nobodinoz and Roommate. And have you already seen the other tents of Kid's Concept, the house and the pavilion? So awesome! Place the tent in the garden, collect all the cuddly toys, dolls and other toys in the tent and start playing! Does your child prefer to chill? Reading or lying in your own bubble is perfect in a play tent. Especially in combination with a round play mat from, for example, Nobodinoz for extra comfort!

For water lovers: inflatable swimming pools

Looking for some cooling during the hot summer days? Then an inflatable swimming pool is a great option for cooling off and playing. At VanZus you will find stylish inflatable pools from the brands Petit Pommes, Konges Slojd and Little Dutch in different sizes, prints and colors. Enjoy splashing, splashing and playing in the water. Of course even more fun with water guns, buckets, watering cans and other water toys. Bring on those sunny days and let the water fun begin!

Whether your child likes to be active or prefers to play creatively, alone or with friends and family, there is always a game that perfectly suits his or her interests. Outdoor play offers endless fun and adventure for children of all ages.

But be careful: protect your child from the sun when playing outside. Apply sun protection such as high factor sunscreen from Naïf and wear a cap or hat from Mrs Ertha, Nuuroo, Rockahula or Konges Slojd to protect the face and scalp. This way your child can enjoy the outdoors without any worries!
