Last weekend we got our first taste of Summer and wasn’t it lovely? I bet your kids loved going outside and playing. We looked through our box of outdoor toys and gave it a bit of a Spring Clean. Many had not fared well from being left outside all winter and others, the girls had simply outgrown. If you are like us, now is the perfect time to stock up on a few new outdoor toys that will encourage outdoor living over the coming months. Here’s my favourite 8, that I stock.

1. Sidewalk Chalks

Let your children get creative on your road with this drum of outdoor chalks. Perfect for little children and older children too. This drum costs €4.99

2. Kites

These kites are great fun on windy days at the park or beach. They fold up nicely and are light to carry. They cost only €7 each.

3. Marbles
