As the evenings get longer and the weather gets warmer, your little ones are going to want to be outside more often in order to enjoy the delights of the summer months. And why wouldn't you want them too? After all, months of being cooped up inside the house will have left them with an avid desire to explore every nook and cranny of the garden, while digging up all the worms they can find in the process!

But before their curiosity leads them so far as to put those worms in their mouths, make sure you invest in exciting outdoor toys and activities with which your children can play. For instance, why not buy or make a sandpit in which they can have fun and make sandcastles? Pair this with an inflatable outdoor paddling pool and you've got yourself a makeshift beach that your children will love - all within your own back garden!

For simultaneous outdoor fun and exercise, your kids will love having a trampoline to play on outdoors at every given opportunity. And there's no need to worry that your children might fall over and hurt themselves when you're not watching; many children's toy specialists and sports shops sell trampolines with safety surrounds, so you know they'll never be in danger of falling off.

Little girls will love having a play house to play in outside. In fact, Wendy houses can make fantastic locations for a doll's tea party or an excellent prop for an outside children's birthday bash - as well as remaining a perfect outdoor location to spark your child's imagination. In turn, little boys will love outdoor climbing frames, and whether your child pretends to be a pirate or simply wants to get some practice on the monkey bars in order to impress his friends in the park, outdoor climbing frames will be a dream come true!

Slides and swings can also make a world of difference to young children when they're playing outdoors - particularly if they have older siblings to help them on their way. Or, if you're looking for the ultimate in outdoor children's toys, get a bouncy castle - it's not just your children who'll love playing in your garden, but their friends too!

But whatever you're looking for in the way of children's toys this summer, make sure that fun is your first priority! Whether you buy your child a mini go-kart on a money-is-no-object budget, or you simply spend your time blowing bubbles with your little ones using the soapy mixture made in the kitchen, those leisurely summer evenings are sure to provide plenty of fun for all the family. Just don't forget the suntan lotion!
