DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET ACTIVE

Outdoor Play Isn't Just One Kind of Play

📡
Adventure Play Create missions, communicate and turn ordinary outdoor spaces into adventures.
🎯

PLAY BEYOND THE PLAYROOM

What Are Outdoor & Active Toys?

Outdoor and active toys encourage children to interact with larger spaces through movement, exploration or imaginative play. They can include balls, throwing and catching activities, observation tools, communication toys and physical games.

ACTIVE DOESN'T ALWAYS ME SPORT

Explore as Well as Move

A child might kick a football, search for birds through binoculars, communicate on a walkie-talkie or invent an outdoor mission. Outdoor play can combine physical activity with curiosity, observation and imagination.

GET MOVING

Active Play Can Be Simple

A ball, a target or a back-and-forth game can be enough to turn free time into active play. Throwing, catching, kicking and striking activities give children reasons to move while enjoying the challenge of the game.

OUTDOOR EXPLORATION

Look Further. Listen. Explore.

Binoculars and walkie-talkies can add another dimension to backyard adventures, camping trips, nature walks and imaginative missions. Instead of simply being outside, children have something specific to observe, search for or communicate about.

🔭
Binoculars Add observation and discovery to nature walks, holidays and outdoor adventures.
📻
Walkie-Talkies Turn backyard play and adventures into communication games, missions and imaginative exploration.

ACTIVE PLAY DOESN'T NEED A BIG SPACE

Coordination Games for Active Kids

Door Pong combines movement with timing and hand-eye coordination. It attaches to a doorway and can be played solo or with another player, making it a useful active-play option even when outdoor play is not practical.
