Top picks for affordable outdoor toys for toddlers

Now we have this lovely weather (although how long it lasts, who knows!!) the best thing to do with children is get outside. I am slowly turning our back garden into a toddler paradise to avoid trips to the park. This avoids me having to park a bag (yes we need snacks, even just for a quick park visit), having to lift children in and out of swings and steer them away from 'dangerous' park equipment - the worst is when she decides to climb onto/off a moving roundabout.

So here are some of my favourite toys:*
Crocodile seesaw: £15, ELC (currently on sale)

Sand/water play table: £9.99, Home Bargains
Pop-up tent and tunnel: £15, Argos
Slide: £19.99, B&M stores

And some of my not-so-cheap favourites:*
Little Tikes car: from £40, Home Bargains (always causes a lot of arguments during play dates, but toddlers driving cars is just too cute!)
Wendy house: from £50, Toys R Us (best to choose one that you like and looks nice in your garden)

*I ALWAYS prefer second hand outdoor toys, but there is a severe lack of them on second hand selling websites once summer is upon us!
