Explore Safe and Fun Outdoor Toys for Toddlers

For young ones, you want to ensure they have a safe setting to explore their curiosity and build their skills through play. That’s why our range of outdoor toys for toddlers focuses on outdoor play that drives their imagination and critical thinking while giving them the room to expel all their energy.

This range includes:

• Large outdoor sandpits where toddlers can play, learn how to build sandcastles, fuel their imaginations, and engage in sensory play.

• Sand and water play tables that similarly engage sensory play, provide a playground for children to use their imaginations and problem-solving skills, partake in social play with their peers, and more.

• Climbing frames, slides, and swing sets that allow young ones to engage different muscle groups, develop their balance and coordination, improve gross and fine motor skills, engage their imaginations, interact and socialise with peers, etc.

Why Choose Plum Play Outdoor Toys for 18+ Months?

At Plum Play, our mission is to provide young ones with a means of play that inspires thinking, creativity, imagination and understanding all while offering a near-endless source of fun. Young children, including toddlers, learn best through play and practical applications of the skills they develop.

We manufacture and sell products that are safe, of exceptional quality, and remain kind to the environment along the way. Much like our products nurture growth in young ones, we wanted them to nurture a more caring approach to sustainability. After all, we only have one world for our children - so it matters that we all do our part to care for it.

Benefits of Outdoor Play for Toddlers’ Development

Many benefits come with toddlers engaging in outdoor play, whether that’s in your own backyard or out at a local park. Some of the biggest benefits include:

Physical development - this includes improvements to gross and fine motor skills, improved balance and coordination, and better reflexes.

Cognitive growth - outdoor play can encourage problem-solving, engaging creativity and imaginative thinking, and sensory exploration.

Emotional regulation and well-being - outdoor play is great for a child’s emotional health, helping to reduce stress, boost mood, foster a greater sense of independence, and improve the overall regulation of their emotions.

Social skills - through play with family and peers, kids build their social skills thanks to the inherent necessities of teamwork and sharing; and by the nature of socialising, their communication skills improve in kind.

Immune system development - outdoor play can also be a great means by which your young ones’ immune systems can develop. More exposure to the outdoors and fresh air helps strengthen a child's immune system.

Improved sleep - naturally, if your toddler is getting out and being active during the day, this will help regulate their energy levels and make it easier for them to fall asleep and maintain more consistent sleep patterns.

Risk assessment and overall confidence - getting out in the world also offers young ones a chance to assess risks in a secure setting. This can be as easy as them judging whether they can effectively traverse a climbing frame or jump down from a certain elevated position. More effective risk assessment also feeds into an improved sense of overall confidence in their lives.
