Getting Fresh Air is Fun With These 15 Outdoor Toys From Walmart—Starting at $4 (2024)

Now that the weather’s getting warmer, I’m looking for outdoor toys that will encourage my 6-year-old to get outside and enjoy the fresh air during spring and summer. (And spring break, if your kid’s school hasn’t had it yet.) As a shopping writer who covers the best deals for parents, I combed through Walmart’s Outdoor Toy Shop to find 15 fun and affordable options for kids of all ages.

From a bubble-blowing lawn mower and Paw Patrol ball pit to an under-$100 foldable playhouse and a sand and water table that’s $90 off, these 15 outdoor toys will keep your kids entertained, active, and screen-free this season—and they start at just $4.

Jetson Leo Folding Kick Scooter

Older kids will love zipping up and down the block with this folding kick scooter with light-up wheels. With an adjustable handlebar height and a capacity of up to 110 pounds, the scooter will grow with your child for years. The whole scooter folds down for easy trips to the park—or when the kids get tired of riding and ask a caregiver to carry it back home—and it’s 50% off at Walmart.

It’s “stylish and easy to fold and carry,” shared one pleased shopper, while another added that “It was really easy to put together.”

Paw Patrol Preschool Playland

Who doesn’t love a ball pit? This portable, inflatable option is Paw Patrol-themed, featuring illustrations of the show’s lovable characters. It comes with 20 soft, flexible balls and has craw-through entrances and an open roof.

It’s “super easy to assemble and super easy to break down to store,” shared one Walmart customer. Safe for indoor and outdoor play, this toy is designed with ages 2 and up in mind but will also work for preschoolers and kindergarteners.

Play Day Push ‘n Bubble Mower Toy

This oldie-but-goodie is sure to delight toddlers and preschoolers alike. It comes with the required bubble solution and no batteries are required. Kids simply need to push the mower and bubbles will begin to appear—and it’s a great opportunity for little ones to engage in imaginative play while parents do their outdoor chores.

“This toy was super easy to put together,” raved one confirmed shopper who gushed how much their “grandson loves his Play Day Push ‘n Bubble Mower.”

Melliful Sand and Water Table

Whether you have a backyard or a balcony, this two-tiered water table provides “hours of fun,” according to a reviewer whose kids love to “splash and spill water while playing.” The set comes with 19 accessories including buckets, digging toys, and sand molds, and it’s a massive $90 off right now at Walmart. (You’ll need to supply your own water or sand.)

Play Day Jumbo Gold Caddy

Who said that golf is just for adults? Get kiddos excited about the classic sport with this cute plastic golf caddy. It comes with a golf bag with dedicated spaces to hold three golf balls, two plastic “holes,” and three clubs. Just be sure to yell “fore” before unleashing that power drive.

Rated for children as young as 3, it’s still enjoyed by kids as old as 8, reviewers shared. “My 8-year-old was quick to figure out how to put it together on their own,” exclaimed one parent.

Play Day Giant Bubble-Blowing Play Set

With two giant bubble wands, two 4-ounce bottles of solution, and a dipping tray, this play set is equipped with everything kids need to blow humongous bubbles in the backyard. The wands measure 11.5 inches in diameter and come in blue and yellow so siblings won’t get theirs mixed up.

“I love the smiles and laughter it brings to my kids when they are using these…and I have to admit...Mom likes doing these fun bubbles with them too!” exclaimed one reviewer, who added that the wands are “easy to rinse off with water when done.” Plus, the entire set is on sale for just $4 right now.

Costway Heavy Duty Kid Ride-On Excavator

Young construction truck enthusiasts will enjoy playing with this ride-on excavator toy, which is actually operational: its two levers can raise and lower the bucket to scoop up sand or a small toy. The excavator can support up to 110 pounds, meaning that it can last for quite a long time.

“Our grandsons love these,” exclaimed one shopper, while another grandparent raved that it was “very nicely made…it did make a full-size digger for our grandson.” Choose between a yellow excavator with 5-inch wheels or an orange excavator with 8-inch wheels.

Freecat Dinosaur Kids Play Tent

This unique play tent comes equipped with 10 dinosaur toys and a button that kids can press to play a roaring sound. The tent pictures t-rex, stegosaurus, and triceratops along with pterodactyls on the rooftop. Best of all, you can also use it indoors on a chillier day.

Seizeen Kids Trampoline

If you need a surefire way to tire those kiddos out so they’ll sleep soundly through the night, look no further than this trampoline. This 4-foot mini trampoline is ideal for the younger crowd and includes a mesh enclosure to prevent jumpers from going flying.

Reviewers appreciate its safety features: “It’s well made and has safety measures,” shared one shopper, while another added, “I like that it’s low to the ground.” Additionally, the frame is covered with foam as an extra precaution.

Frcolo4 Kids Bowling Toy (Two Sets)

If you’re looking for an outdoor toy that lets the whole family get in on the fun, this bowling set is a fun and affordable pick. Even though the balls are designed with toddler hands in mind, each of the two sets comes with 10 pins that older kids or adults can try knocking over, too.

Syncfun Rocket Ship Play Tents Set

This NASA-themed play tent has two main sitting areas that look like space shuttles so young astronauts can play pretend. A mesh tunnel connects the two tents so kids can crawl in between them, while the support poles can fold down for compact storage.

One shopper raved that their kids “absolutely love” the “very interactive and stimulating” tent. Plus, each waterproof tent is large enough to accommodate multiple kids.

EastPoint Sports 3-in-1 Tailgate Game Set

Whether you have kids in different stages or need to prep for backyard parties, this versatile set is three games in one: it converts from ladderball to cornhole to washer toss. Most games are easy for nearly anyone to play or can be modified if necessary so that little ones can get in on all the action.

It’s a “great product to place in the trunk and use when the kids need something to entertain them at the park,” shared one shopper—proving that this is also a travel-friendly pick.

Homemaxs Ankle Jumping Game

If you’re an elder Millennial, this toy probably looks familiar. Once known as a Skip-It, this cute little game encourages coordination while helping kids get and stay active. The affordable five-pack lets families stock up for playdates or parties, keeping kids from fighting over whose turn it is.

Grossly 2-in-1 Starlight Hover Soccer Ball Set

Whether you’re training the next David Beckham or Megan Rapinoe (or simply want your kids to spend some time outside), this hovering futuristic soccer ball is a fun choice for your little MVP. Once you’ve charged it, the ball hovers in the air and can be kicked into the two included goals. It works indoors and outdoors and even has colorful LED lights.

If you forget to charge the hovering soccer ball, there’s no need to worry: the set comes with a soccer ball, basketball, and a tool to inflate them.
