Outdoor toys for big adventures
Playing outside is not only fun for children, it also develops motor skills, coordination and strengthens the immune system. Just 60 minutes of fresh air each day supports health and helps burn off energy. Whether in the garden, on the balcony or in the park, the right toy turns every outing into an adventure. Children can run, climb and discover while satisfying their natural urge to move.
Sand and water toys inspire creative building, while throwing games promote dexterity and teamwork. For little ones taking their first ride, ride-on cars and vehicles offer safe fun. Balance bikes and bikes train balance and prepare children for cycling later on.
Materials and safety
Quality outdoor toys are made from robust, weather-resistant materials. Wooden toys are durable, feel warm to the touch and are safe even for small children. Plastic is lightweight and easy to care for but should be free from harmful softeners. On bicycles and scooters, non-slip grips and stable wheels ensure safety. Make sure toys have no sharp edges and meet European safety standards.
The right accessories are also important: a helmet and protective gear guard against falls, and a light Müetzli or Nuschi keeps heads warm when the wind blows. Children playing with water should wear slip-resistant Finkli so tiny feet have good grip.
Fun in every season
Outdoor toys shine year-round. In spring, balance bikes and ball games invite children to be active; in summer, water guns and paddling pools provide cool refreshment. Autumn brings leaf piles and kite flying, while winter offers sledding and snow-building projects. Weatherproof clothing such as rain trousers and jackets protects and keeps playtime enjoyable.
Family time and gift ideas
Outdoor play strengthens family bonds. Parents and children can build sandcastles, play ball or enjoy a picnic together. High-quality outdoor toys also make wonderful gifts. A set for movement and outdoor fun, a ride-on vehicle or a balance bike encourages exercise, creativity and a love of nature. Choose toys that suit your child’s age and will provide lasting enjoyment.
