Outdoor Play

Outdoor Play Gets Everyone Up and Moving

Warm weather makes just about everyone want to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Kmart offers many toys and games to make outdoor play more fun for you and your kids.

Bikes are one of the most universal forms of outdoor play. Kids and adults alike in countries all over the world ride bikes for both fun and exercise. There are many styles of bikes to choose from depending on your childâs age and level of riding experience. Smaller bikes are designed especially for young children and may feature training wheels to keep the wobble out of their early rides. As your child grows, he or she will need a bike of a larger size and may eventually wish to try a bike with several speeds or one designed for doing tricks. But no matter what kind of bike your child rides, itâs essential to have the right safety equipment. A helmet that fits properly protects your childâs head should he or she fall while lights and reflectors keep riders of all ages visible when biking in potentially dangerous conditions.

If your kids are more into cars, trucks and aircrafts than bikes, they might enjoy playing around with remote control toys. Though some models are meant to be played with inside, others are designed to fly and are, therefore, perfect for using outdoors. You and your kids can fly realistic helicopters and jets around the yard for fun, hold races or see who can get the toys to fly the highest. Colorful and rugged, these toys appeal to a wide range of ages. Not only will they last through many seasons of spirited outdoor play, but kids will likely continue to enjoy them even as they get older.

Another fun way to spice up outdoor play is to introduce some floor games. You may think of things like Twister as strictly indoor entertainment, but it can be a lot of fun to bring this and other floor games outdoors when the weather is agreeable. These types of games adapt well to outdoor play whether youâre looking for something to keep your kids occupied or want to get everyone involved at a summer party. And on days when the weather isnât so nice, you can always bring your floor games back indoors for an afternoon of classic entertainment.

Outdoor play is an important part of childhood that no kid should miss out on. Shop Kmart for everything you need to get your child up and moving as soon as the warm weather rolls around.
