Once the weather starts heating up, there's nothing more fun than opening up the back door and letting the kids scamper outside for some fresh air. You don't need to have an enormous yard to take advantage of creative play or to set up a fun toy — just a little patio space (or a balcony!) can be ample room to set something up.
So whether you have tons of grass or a small patio, we have the outdoor toys that are ideal for toddlers, little kids, and beyond.
