Everyone loves flying a kite, but no one loves untangling it from a neighbors tree. With this amazing product you can kiss those tangles good bye and just enjoy the flying.

5. Micro Mini 3 in 1 Scooter

Why buy your child a new scooter every year from age 1 – 5 when you can have 1 scooter that does it all? This amazing scooter grows with your kid and allows them to choose their comfort level.

6. Grow Your Own Organic Veggies

Kids love playing in dirt so why not throw in a little horticulture lesson while they’re at it?  A perfect way for kids to learn where their food comes from, and who knows, maybe they’ll even learn to love their veggies!

7. A Teepee to Call Your Own

Set it up in the backyard with some pillows and your child’s favorite books and while away the hours on a summer afternoon. Also ideal for shady picnics al fresco.

We also love the incredibly adorable teepee made by Roberta Roller Rabbit!

Of course, there are always the old standbys – balls, bug catchers, hula hoops, slip n slides and star gazing – to name a few. Here’s to the best summer ever.
