Nowadays, it’s no surprise for parents that motivating their children to get outside is a relatively hard task. And while it may be tempting to let your little ones stay inside playing with smartphones or watching YouTube Kids videos, children need the stimulation and benefits of outside play.
This is where outdoor toys enter the picture. Kids are naturally drawn to toys, but finding ones that can keep them interested in staying outside can be a real challenge. That’s why today I embarked on a mission to find unusual and unique outdoor toys for 4-6 years olds, so your kids will have fun while interacting with the world surrounding them. That being said, let’s find some gems!
With this life-sized version of Whac-A-Mole, your kiddos will have fun outside, all of its parts are inflatable, so there’s nothing to worry about besides enjoying the sun and having fun!
Calling all mini-astronauts! Once this rocket is attached to a garden hose via its thrust controller, it swings on a water stream while spraying more water from its nose cone. One of the best unusual outdoor water toys for teaching kids about balance and gravity!
With a max speed of 2 miles per hour and a foot pedal acceleration system, this little Vespa-style toy will make your kid feel like she’s cruising through the streets of Italy.
Tired of seeing the same outside ride-on toys for 4-6 year olds? Well, let me tell you this bumper car is the exception. With it, you’ll bring the amusement park home in a safe and dynamic way!
Introducing this bad boy: a 3-wheel kick scooter for blasting on the go. This exciting vehicle can rapidly fire darts up to 40 feet while staying stable, AND it’s also compatible with other NERF products. How cool is that?
This toy also falls into the previous category, but I felt it fits this category better due to the “digging” factor. It features a solid metal body and large-size wheels that will give stability to your child while he experiences hours of fun scooping and moving piles of mud. I love it!
It’s a hand digger shaped like a lobster. Do I really need to say more? Jokes aside, this orange claw grabber will be your kid’s must-have when they go out to play in the mud. P.S: It works on sand and snow too!
