I am excited to share my favorite<\/strong> low cost summer toys. We are all working with a budget of some sort, and we want to get the most bang for our buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer is so close, and I am here for it! I can already feel the warm breeze on my face, while I sit outside sipping a cold drink and listening to my kids laugh<\/a> as they splash around in the sprinkler. These are the days! So, check out the list below for some simple yet impactful items that will make your summer one to remember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles. Even though my kids are out of the toddler stage, they still love bubbles. But we all cry when they spill. So, here are some non-spillage<\/strong> options that we use.<\/p>\n\n\n

A low-key (aka low mess<\/strong>) water activity my kids’ love is painting the sidewalk, back porch, house, fence…you get the idea…with simply plain water. The kids love this variety pack of paintbrushes to explore the different shapes and lines. <\/p>\n\n\n

Magnetic blocks have been popular over the last several years, so I know you know about them. A great summer twist is to take them outside and stick them to your garage door. My youngest likes to sort them by shape, and my older ones enjoy building 3D sculptures suspended off the metal door. <\/p>\n\n\n

Last year, I discovered the best alternative to plastic kiddie pools that are heavy and kill your grass. It’s this outdoor splash pad. You connect your hose and let the good times roll…or splash. But seriously, clean up and storage of this thing is so much easier than anything else we’ve tried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
