For 1-3yos they LOVE the Little Tikes cars. I have 2 but could easily have more.

I've been collecting the really expensive all terrain rubber wheeled tricycles.

The kids literally ride them around the yard for hours! No sidewalk or smooth surface necessary.

They run about $50-70 and so far I have 4.

The ones like this:

WOW all terrain, all I have is grass in the back, I need these!!!

Mine love the playhouse with dishes and the picnic table. They play resturant a lot. Chalk and bubbles. We go to the park at least once a day, so I got rid of my big swing set and opened up that space for running! Kicking balls, sprinklers and squirt bottles. They "wash" my garage door a lot and use the squirt bottles to draw pictures on it.

Buckets with water and those cheap Wal-mart paint brushes that come in a five pack. Maybe $3.50/$4.00 a pack. They love to "paint" everthing!

Plexiglass glass easel or frame. I have a homemade frame with plexiglass. Use with shaving cream. Kids can "paint" with shaving cream on each side and see each other.

Little Tyke square climber....don't know if they still make it. All ages love to climb on it and sit on it. Well not 1's and it's a bit big for even 2 yr olds

Painting those flat landscaping rocks...they would do that forever.

Those large flat bubble wands with the round tray...love 'em

Water table

Playhouses & sand kitchen

My all time favorite outside play thing - Hay!!! Once in a while I would go to a local farm buy a few of these.... they last "forever", kids love climbing on them and put their imagination to play! Just like giant blocks, the possibilities are endless... Oh the fun you can have with these... but much better than blocks!! happyface
