How To Choose Outdoor Toys As Christmas Gifts
Like the idea of purchasing an outdoor toy for a special kid in your life this Christmas, but aren't sure where to begin? At Refresh Sports, we recommend keeping the following considerations in mind as you browse for the right fit:
Age And Interests
How old is the child you're shopping for, and what do they like to do? These questions might seem basic, but they're a great starting point for narrowing down your options. Like any gift, an outdoor toy should be developmentally appropriate and reflect the interests of the person receiving it.
Uncertain if a toy you're considering is a good choice based on the age of the kid you plan to give it to? Check out the "By Age" tab on our website to see which toys we recommend for children from age 3 all the way up to age 12.
Social Vs. Independent Play
Some kids thrive on constant social interaction, while some prefer more opportunities for independent play. Still others enjoy a balanced mix of alone time and time with friends. No matter the preferences of the kid you're gift hunting for, we've got something that will delight them - and suit their personality!
Outdoor Space & Season
Where does the little one you're purchasing an outdoor toy for live, and what sorts of outdoor spaces do they have easy access to? Water toys are a great choice for families who have a pool or regularly visit the beach, while flying toys are better suited for parks and open areas. For those with limited outdoor space, a multiplayer game that can be played within clearly defined boundaries is often a wonderful solution. Browse our inventory and make your selection accordingly.
Many of our toys are suitable for outdoor play in any season, and some can even be enjoyed indoors during cold or inclement weather. If you're looking for a gift that can hold its own all year-round, one of our flying toys or multiplayer games could be the perfect fit.
Growth & Longevity
One of the best things about a high-quality outdoor toy is that it's a gift that keeps on giving. Outdoor fun can be enjoyed at any age, and watching children find new and imaginative ways to engage with toys as they develop new skills and mature over time can be truly magical! At Refresh Sports, the robust design of our outdoor toys ensures they'll last for many years - and be returned to again and again at different ages and stages as children grow and change.
Top Engaging Outdoor Toys For Christmas
This Christmas, make active, imaginative play and screen-free exploration even more fun with versatile outdoor toys built to last. Here are a few of our top suggestions:
Sticky Baseball Paddle Toss & Catch Game
Our Sticky Baseball Paddle Toss & Catch game is a baseball-inspired twist on a classic toy can be learned in 30 seconds flat - and enjoyed by children (and adults) of all ages for endless hours! Adjustable straps ensure a comfortable playing experience for hands of all sizes.
Aqua Hockey Water Game
If you think hockey's always played on ice, then think again...because that's not the case for our insanely fun Aqua Hockey Water Game. Who knew floating soft paddles and water-skipping balls could transform this winter sport into an instant summer classic, perfect for the pool or beach? No pool? No problem. This game can also be played on solid ground.
