Finding the perfect gift to show the dads in our lives how much they mean to us isn't always easy, so I've rounded up my favorite go-to gifts, all dad-approved.
This Little Tikes golf set was one of my favorite toys as a kid and is still a hit among kids.
This chalk paint set has been such a hit since it launched last year that it keeps going in and out of stock! If you get your hands on a set, it is such a fun outdoor craft activity for kids. The chalk is in powder form and you mix it with water, so it is fun for kids to create their own vibrant colors and the colors show up really well!
Kids love to get involved outside, this Green Toys watering can set is perfect to put them to work with gardening and watering plants in the warmer months.
In my experience, kids love bugs. This bug catcher makes them easy to catch without touching them and it has a built in magnifier for you to examine them up close!
This is an outdoor version of our favorite at home scavenger hunts! Take this outside or to the park for a fun engaging activity with your kids.
We recently got some snow and my kids love making a snow man and now even more that we got this kit! It comes with 16 pieces.
This blaster water backpack is so fun and easy for kids to use! It comes in Spiderman, Paw Patrol, Cocomelon and Princess theme and makes a great gift for outdoor water fun.
My son who is almost six has randomly gotten into jumping rope, and I bought these soft beaded ropes that can be adjusted in length for kids! It comes in a two pack.
If you keep your water table outside during the spring/summer this cover is a must! It is a great solution for keeping it clean and free of debris.
We added this to our water table and it is endless fun for the kids! A constant stream of water for them to play in!
My son is addicted to this old school catch and toss ball set! It is an outdoor toy I grew up playing and I am so glad he loves it as much as I do.
This set of foam throwing airplanes are great for outdoor play! The wings can be inserted two different ways to make the planes glide or reverse. A great way for kids to get outside and play together!
We love the stomp rockets in our house and the cars are no different! This is a duel set so both kids can play at the same time! We use both indoor and outdoor for endless entertainment.
This monkey bar climbing gym is great for kids 3 and older and can hold up to 150 lbs of weight at a time. It is very lightweight so it can easily be set up outside in warm months or is compact enough to fit in an indoor play area if you have the space! A great toy to challenge kids and burn their energy.
I did a community poll on best inflatable water slides and this was one of the top 2 most recommended options!
Tips for cleaning/storing this slide:
Always let it dry completely out before repacking it, flip it mid dry to make sure the bottoms dries out too
When 100% dry, use leaf blower to remove grass/dirt/sand
Repack and store in a cool/dry space
Use dish soap if there are any spots that need cleaning

This trampoline helps to burn off energy on a rainy day or in winter or you can bring it outside in the warmer months. It is a great gift for a 2nd birthday!
Hear me out…these spray bottles will provide so much entertainment to your child outside. Put them to work spraying the yard, mulch, flowers or even their bikes. Sometimes the simplest objects turn into the most fun toy.
An upgraded version of SplashEZ’s famous splash pad for kids that is a bit larger and the material is tougher to withstand even a dog playing on it!
A giant remote control monster truck that is lightweight due to its styrofoam wheels and can travel over most terrain. A fun driveway toy for kids!
Your kid will burn energy and learn more coordination with their first foam pogo stick. Gentle enough for indoor use or fun outside.
This fun t-ball set helps kids to start learning hand/eye coordination and makes for a good outdoor toy.
We got this basketball hoop for my son when he was 18 months and it is easily one of the top used toys in my house. The adjustable height allows it to grow with your kids for years.
A fun sandbox that will offer hours of entertainment, can fit multiple kids comfortably and comes with built in seating on the corners and a mesh cover.
I did a community poll on the best outdoor playsets for toddlers and this was one of the top two recommendations. Step2 is always a brand I trust for kid products!
This scout and slide play set was one of the top 2 recommendations for toddler play sets when I polled the community. A cute climbable structure made by Step2.
Say goodbye to traditional water balloons that leave annoying little pieces all over your yard. These reusable water balloons are a blast for kids ages 2 and up. They can fill them up themselves easily and love popping and refilling them. Only buy the brand Soppycid, there are other knock offs sold that don’t have protection over the little magnets and can be dangerous for little kids.
This inflatable bounce house is one of the best purchases I have made as a parent. It inflates in no time, provides hours of entertainment, expends all their energy and allows parents to sit back with a drink and relax while your children are contained. Can be used inside or outside.
Never have I ever loved a pair of shorts so instantly than these! These are the most perfect denim short I think I have ever found. The length is perfect, it has a cute raw hem but no destruction, and a slight amount of stretch making them insanely comfortable! They fit true to size, and come in two denim washes and black. They aren’t cheap, however, I know I will wear them all summer long and get so much use out of them. I am a believer that good shorts are hard to come by and I am willing to pay a little bit more if they fit and feel amazing.
