Modern city dwellers spend a fairly large part of their lives indoors, while moving little and spending a lot of time in a sitting position. This does not benefit even adults, and even for children, who are supposed to constantly run and jump by nature, immobility is a disaster. That is why it is so important to make sure that children walk and move. And so that the walks are fun, and the children are not drawn back home to the TV and computer screens, we offer a lot of different games and toys for active summer holidays.
And to make it easier to navigate in a huge number of them, we have divided these products into subsections.
Outdoor toys
Let's start with the simplest. Outdoor toys - they are very different, and your choice will depend primarily on the age of your child. For kids, it is absolutely necessary to purchase a scoop and several molds - it just so happened in our country that small children will certainly play in the sandbox. By the way, this activity is not only very pleasant, but also very useful for the nervous system of the child. Among you will find not only traditional shovels, rakes and buckets, but also sandbox machines, watering cans and sets for gardening in the country.
Soap bubbles and turntables are also traditionally bought for kids.
For children of senior preschool and primary school age, nets for catching insects and may be of interest in this section. Among the latter, there are options that are interesting for both boys and girls: you can fly a kite, or you can fly an airplane, during the day you can have fun playing Frisbee with friends, and in the evening, together with your parents, send a sky lantern flying.
Well, for games in hot weather it will be very handy.
Beach holiday products
Since we are talking about water, let's continue this topic. Of course, the most pleasant thing in summer is the opportunity to swim. Whether in the sea, in a river or in a small pond, summer bathing is a favorite children's activity. And you need the right equipment. First of all, you need to take care of the safety of the child: purchase sleeves or a vest suitable for age, and in no case leave the baby near or in the water unattended.
And for those who can swim, you can buy a mask, goggles and fins for scuba diving, as well as an air mattress for relaxing. For water trips with adults, an inflatable boat is the best fit. Well, in the intervals on the shore you can play an inflatable ball or other water games.
Sunglasses

Houses, slides, swings
To have a good rest in the summer, it is not at all necessary to go to distant lands, to the sea-ocean. For children, it is quite enough (and for many it is preferable) just to go to their grandmother's dacha. There are millions of fans of summer holidays in our country, and you can’t leave them unattended - we have them for them.
That is why here you will find a variety of play complexes and slides for a summer cottage, as well as cozy and fun swings and trampolines, and for kids -. Well, in between active games and running around, you can do something calm - for example, draw or sculpt in the fresh air. We also have tables and chairs for this purpose.
Pools and inflatable centers
But what if you are in the country, and finally hot weather has happened, and it is too far to the nearest body of water? Of course, buy ! Inflatable and frame pools are becoming more and more popular among avid summer residents, because this is an opportunity to organize your own personal pond for relatively little money and with very little labor. The pools with the unique Easy Set design from Intex are also very comfortable.

We also advise you to pay attention to air mattresses and chairs, which are the best suited for relaxing after a fun swim. And, of course, play inflatable centers for children! Among them there are both options with water, and without it, as well as dry pools with balls.
Sports and active recreation
Sport is what will make a child's summer really active and useful. There are so many children's that this section turned out to be one of the largest. We alone have seven species! Among the children you will find ring throwers and plastic skittles for the little ones, and darts for the older children, as well as equipment for traditional badminton, table and tennis, golf, croquet and baseball, which are still unfamiliar to many.
Children's - this is also a very useful section, which is worth a look. There are good old jump ropes and gymnastic hoops for girls, children's boxing and basketball sets for getting to know these sports, as well as Pogo-sticks and jumpers (well, who can immediately explain what the difference is between these two sports related devices?). In addition, there is a cute section “for morning exercises”, which contains the good old and beloved sports equipment of the Sovtekhstrom and Sport brands - dumbbells, horizontal bars in the doorway, expanders of various shapes and even gymnastic sticks and massage tracks.

On the road
To enjoy a summer vacation, you must first get to the place of rest. And to do this in the company of one or more small children is not an easy task (parents will understand)) Therefore, in addition to collecting thousands of all kinds of little things that children need on vacation, you also need to collect in a separate bag things that will be needed or may be needed for convenience and entertainment - their own, little travelers.

To make it more comfortable for children, the circles can be made smaller. All this is prepared in an elementary way: on the pavement, it is easiest to draw with colored crayons (in order not to get your hands dirty, just outline the outlines of the circles, and do not paint over them completely).
