• Toys like wooden pizzas and play tents ignite your child’s imagination, encouraging pretend play and storytelling.
• Outdoor toys shared with siblings or friends introduce your child to early social concepts like taking turns and playing together.

Outdoor play has many benefits. It’s essential for their growth, offering a safe and stimulating way to develop their physical, sensory, and cognitive skills.
