Fun Outdoor Summer Activities For Kids: 2025 Guide For Parents

Explore outdoor summer activities to keep your kids active and healthy in the heat. Let's grill some delicious treats or host amazing evening teas with Barnshenn!

Kids can unleash their creativity, discover new interests, and enjoy themselves through imaginative play during the summer months. We love making kids' sun-kissed days even more magical with thoughtfully designed wooden toys at Barnshenn. Whether your child's dream is to host a barbecue, run a grocery store, or build their masterpieces, our 2025 toy collection has something for every little adventurer.

Let's dive right into the best outdoor summer toys of the season that will make playtime unforgettable!


Teepee tents for magical storytime

Our new arrival and the top hit of this heat is the teepee tent for kids. With its soft, elegant colours, this kid's tent can quickly become a hit among children. From cosy nooks to listening to endless stories, children can enjoy a variety of activities right inside the tent.


A BBQ set for little grillmasters

Just imagine the excitement that will be on your little one's face when they host their barbecue party! The BBQ play set comes with several features that make playing more interesting, such as realistic sounds and the addition of several food items. With features such as skewers, a cutting board, and a clamp, the children can pretend or imitate what an actual barbecue does to add more.


Breakfast table for hosting parties

The wooden breakfast table is complete with multiple pretend vegetables and food items, like a butter slab, a burger, and cutlery items, for a realistic and immersive experience. It has a menu card so kids can pretend to be in a cafe or shop.


Wooden Play shop for mini vendors

Imagine your little ones running their very own little shop. With the Barnshenn Wooden Grocery Shop, they really can! Made of fine wood, this educational play toy shop maintains a classic, sturdy feel, making it ideal for various types of role-playing.

From colourful fruits and vegetables to delicious bakery items, the wooden food toy makes playing more exciting. Your little one might want to become a shopkeeper, restocking shelves and helping customers; the toys would be an excellent means of practice in counting, sorting, and even some simple maths for your child!


Mud kitchen for outdoor play

A mud kitchen serves as a children's toy and provides an opportunity for learning, creativity, and fostering a connection with nature. Let your toddlers play with purpose in your garden. 

Wooden Kitchen Toy offers various advantages, from encouraging outdoor play to fostering a love for gardening. When you add a magical play area to your kids' playing time, you don't just provide a regular wooden kitchen toy, but you set up an early lifetime of exploration and discovery.


Kids workbench for creative minds

We have set up our Kids Workbench for the budding builders. It is a realistic workbench with all tools available. All around, the tool bench is a pretty cool toy for developing fine motor coordination and hand-eye coordination. Aside from that, it's quite educational; children will then learn the basics of constructing and using tools with a touch of fun as they play outside.


Kids golf set for mini golfers

Get your child into golfing style by giving them our Kids Golf Set. The set comes complete with all the kid-friendly golf essentials for easy setup in the wilderness of your backyard. The set is an excellent way to teach the kids how to play golf. Develop their hand-eye coordination and engage them in physical activity. It is beneficial because everyone in the family can play together, which would create more bonding time.


Kids tea playset for special get-togethers

We all know how magical it can be for children to host their tea parties. That's why the wooden tea treat playset includes everything your child needs to recreate their favourite café moments.

From delicately crafted wooden teapots and cups, a milk jug, a sugar jar, and a sprig of mint, right up to a sliver of lemon, everything about the entire toy is designed to improve realism and engagement. With a tea set for kids, your little one can engage in hours of imaginative play by perfecting the act of serving tea while enjoying the joy of hosting.


Wooden pizza set for endless delights 

Add a dash of pizzeria excitement to your backyard with the Pizza Oven Toy Set. This toy is perfect for kids who love to make their pizza with lots of topping choices—with the opportunity for "baking" in the toy oven. It is excellent for kids to develop their role-playing skills and show their creativity in life as well as in the kitchen.


Ring toss game for family fun

A ring toss game is a perfect summer outdoor game for family play. With rings made of jute and pegs attached to wooden boards, the quoits game is more than just a plaything. It is also an educational Montessori toy that nurtures problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination. It fosters brain connections in kids.
