Keeping up with the Kiddos: The Best Summer Toys for Toddlers

I am so excited for summer this year! Last summer we were stuck indoors the entire time because my little one, Sidney, developed Eczema from outdoor allergens. We all had cabin fever. Thankfully, the Eczema did not return this year!!! My new found freedom is encouraging me to spend as much time outdoors as possible this summer. I made a wish list of some fun (mostly outdoor) summer toys for kids. Do your kids have a favorite summer toy?

Gazillion Bubble Rocket
$18 - Bubbles AND a rocket! The kids are going to have to tear Tim and I away from it if they want a turn!

Crayola Critters Chalk Maker
$10 - What kid doesn't like chalk? Now you can buy them in cute little shapes.

Geyser Blast Sprinkler
$22 - For those of us without a pool, this crazy sprinkler is the next best thing on a hot day.
