Fun in the Sun with PlanToys Active Play

5 Active Outdoor Sports Games for Little Ones 3 Years and Up

Summer is finally here, and it's the perfect time to engage your little ones in thrilling outdoor activities! If you're wondering where to start, we've got you covered. But first, let's explore why outdoor play is essential for your youngsters!

A Break from Screen Time

In this technology-driven age, finding a balance is crucial. Outdoor play offers a refreshing break from screen time, allowing children to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature.

Build Strength and Vitality

Outdoor activities play an important role in physical development, particularly for gross motor skills. Jumping, running, climbing, and other movements contribute to building strength and agility. Plus, being in the sun at the right time provides a natural intake of Vitamin D!

Ignite the Spirit of Exploration

From vibrant leaves and flowers to fascinating insects and diverse plant species, children can engage their senses while learning about shapes, colors, sizes, and basic scientific concepts. Every outdoor adventure becomes a gateway to a world of knowledge and wonder.

Now, let's dive into our selection of exciting outdoor sport games:
