Fun and Games in the Garden

Natural Wooden Quoits

We cannot believe how lucky we are – another Bank Holiday weekend is almost upon us, not to mention half term holidays and plenty of sunshine! Grownups that are worrying about how to keep children entertained need look no further than the marvellous collection of outdoor toys and games we have chosen for WoodenToyShop.co.uk.

BigJigs Garden Tools

Our fantastic selection of gardening toys contains everything a junior horticulturalist needs to begin what could be a lifetime’s passion for gardening. We’ve noticed that from a very early age, children love digging through sand and soil, making holes and then filling them in again. Our cute garden hand tools are perfect for uprooting, sorry, planting flowers and our long handled garden tools will help your green fingered angels keep your lawn nice and tidy and your flower beds free from weeds.

We’re pretty sure that our shiny orange children’s toy wheelbarrow will be utilised solely for gardening purposes, but we can’t guarantee that it won’t become a toddler trolley and be used for lots of racing games.

And for the many children who love ferrying water around and watering the plants (or soaking Mum, Dad and anyone else in the vicinity) we’ve got cute watering cans and matching buckets. What could be finer than a day in the garden with all the family getting involved as young children learn about the natural world around them? If you’ve got a budding botanist or junior naturalist at home, we even got a lovely magnifying glass and funky bug box for temporarily homing those creepy crawlies that fascinate children so much.

These children’s garden tools will come in handy in the sand pit as well! We don’t know what it is about sand, but kids just can’t get enough of it and this is why we’ve chosen a brilliant range of sand pits which will fit neatly into most gardens or patios and which will soon become the destination of choice for your children and their friends. In fact, while sand pits offer hours of straightforward fun and games, they are also excellent toys for encouraging children to play together and develop their social skills.

When the sun shines and the birds are singing, children like nothing better than playing games outside. At WoodenToyShop we’ve been pleased to see so many cricket sets selling recently and hope that in some small way we might be helping nurture the talent of a future Graeme Swann or Kevin Pietersen. For an even more civilised game in the garden we have a junior croquet set bring an air of sophistication to noisy gardens!

We think kids will love our natural wooden quoits set. Quoits is such a deceptively simple game that will keep children engrossed for hours. One of the joys of the game is that it can be played quickly and no one needs to be waiting for too long before it’s their turn again and everyone has a chance to win. Smaller children may also enjoy playing skittles – we have three colourful sets to choose from – or marching around on our crocodile or tiger footwalkers. Let’s not forget the skipping ropes either – great toys for using up excess energy and helping kids improve balance and coordination!

Whatever you choose for your children and your garden, we’re sure that any one of the outdoor toys and games at WoodenToyShop.co.uk will reap rewards. We’ll talk about the benefits of outdoor play another day, but for now we’ll say that mixing physical activity with fun and learning is a summer cocktail we’ll all drink to!
