Summer is here and kids need to get outside! Whether you're looking for something to keep them busy in the backyard, at the park, or on vacation, Blickenstaffs Toy Store in Provo, Utah has the best outdoor toys for kids of all ages. Here are our top picks for summer 2026.
1. Banwood First Go Balance Bike
Nothing says summer like a kid zooming around on a balance bike. The Banwood First Go is lightweight, beautiful, and perfect for toddlers ages 2-5. No pedals means they learn balance naturally — and before you know it they'll be riding circles around the neighborhood. Available in Pink, Red, Vanilla, Green, and Navy at Blickenstaffs.
2. Scoot & Ride
The ultimate 2-in-1 outdoor toy — a ride-on and a scooter in one sleek design. The Scoot & Ride grows with your child from ages 1 to 5, making it one of the best investments you can make in outdoor play. Beautifully designed and incredibly durable.
3. Hacky Sack Footbag
Simple, portable, and endlessly replayable — a hacky sack is the perfect outdoor toy for older kids and teens. Our red and black leather Hacky Sack Footbag is great for solo practice or circle games with friends. Toss it in a backpack and take it anywhere this summer.
4. Nee Doh Squeeze Toys
OK, technically an indoor toy — but Nee Doh travels beautifully! Perfect for road trips, beach days, and camping. Toss a few in the bag and you've got instant entertainment wherever you go. Check out the Glow in the Dark variety for extra nighttime fun around the campfire.
5. Sidewalk Chalk and Outdoor Art
Give kids a canvas the size of your driveway! Sidewalk chalk sets and outdoor art supplies are some of the most creative and affordable summer activities around. We carry a great selection at Blickenstaffs for budding outdoor artists.

Summer and water go hand in hand. We carry a fun selection of water toys and beach gear perfect for Utah's lakes, splash pads, and backyard water play. Stop in to see what's new this season!
Tips for Choosing the Right Outdoor Toy
- Think about where you'll use it most — backyard, park, beach, camping
- Choose toys that grow with your child for better value
- Look for durable materials that can handle the elements
- Open-ended toys (bikes, balls, chalk) get more use than single-purpose ones
