Top Outdoor Toys for Summer 2024

Can you feel it? Those brighter, warmer days arriving? Even though there's still a bit of a chill in the air this Spring, we all know it signifies just one thing... Summer is nearly here! Get ready for sunny evenings, BBQs, paddling pools, ice creams, and long days at the park. There's nothing quite like the Great British Summer, but it passes all too quickly, so we've put together this blog post to help you get ready. Whether you enjoy playing around in the garden, relaxing in the pool, or heading out on an adventure, there's something here for everyone. As the home of outdoor action sports, SkateHut is your go-to place for Summer fun in 2024.

Toys for the Garden

Let's get started with garden toys and this curated selection will transform your garden into a paradise for both kids and adults who love having fun. Looking at the current trends, group activity games have become popular again following the pandemic, allowing us to enjoy time with friends and family once more without restrictions.

Funslinger

Hugely popular last year, Funslinger is set to appear again in parks and gardens across the country this Summer. Featuring two catchers and a shuttle that makes a cool whistling sound as it zips through the air, you can practice your throwing skills with a friend. The slingers provide extra leverage to send the shuttle great distances, and for anyone with a strong arm, it's incredibly satisfying.

Funslinger is an excellent toy for the garden, park, and even the beach. Take it with you on your holidays abroad, camping, or simply have it ready on your porch at home. This is a fantastic garden toy for less than £20 and will provide hours of entertainment, but more importantly, it will get your kids active and happy!

Pogo Sticks

Who would have thought pogo sticks would make such a significant comeback in 2024!? From space hoppers to pogo sticks, if there's one thing that hasn't changed in decades, it's that kids love bouncing up into the air, much to the dismay of many parents... but hey, they're having fun. That's why SkateHut offers a fantastic range of pogo sticks at very affordable prices for your kids (or yourself) to practice balance and coordination in a fun and exciting way.

With top brands like Flybar, Krunk, and even Madd Gear Pro, there's a pogo stick available for every size and age. Once you've mastered the art of hopping around on a bouncy stick, you can impress all your friends, because let's be honest, it's impressive when done right.

BERG Ride-Ons

Ride-on toys such as go-karts, pedal karts, and trikes have been a staple of fun for younger children ever since the wheel was invented, and the leading brand for this is BERG. With numerous popular models like the Buddy, Buzzy, and Reppy Rider, BERG creates go-karts that are suitable for all ages and sizes. So if you're looking to upgrade your smaller pedal kart to a larger one, you know where to go.

Well... you know where to go because you're already here: SkateHut! You probably thought we only sold skateboards, right? Well, check out our ride-on toys section and you'll find a variety of cool go-karts and trikes that we've carefully selected using feedback from the most critical reviewers... kids! So getting a BERG ride-on from us will keep them happy and ultimately make you happy... because you're awesome.

Toys for the Water

Alright, so you don't have to stay on dry land to have fun this Summer, and we've definitely noticed more and more people enjoying the waves, rivers, and lakes lately. So here are some fantastic must-haves for splashing around this Summer 2024.

Gotcha Bodyboards

After the pandemic, everyone realized how incredible some of the UK's coasts are, with pristine beaches, clear waters, and waves of all sizes. Taking a staycation has proven popular for relaxing during the Summer break, but it's also much friendlier on the wallet.

Here's something else that's easy on your wallet: Gotcha bodyboards! Available in various colors, the 37” bodyboards are perfect for skimming along the waves or simply as a handy flotation device. Suitable for both kids and adults, they also come with a convenient strap so you don't lose it when hitting the foam, although that should happen only rarely. We believe in you! SkateHut also offers a great bundle with 10% off when purchasing bodyboards and changing robes, so make sure to grab this offer while it lasts... which brings me to the next topic.

Changing Robes

They're not technically a toy, but surely you can forgive us? Anyway, changing robes are an amazing piece of equipment, feeling like you're being embraced by a big, fluffy monster. They'll keep you warm and dry because, let's face it, the British Summer isn't always perfect, and the weather can change in an instant.

With Osprey and Dryrobe in our collection, we have sizes for both adults and children. They're so comfortable you'll probably end up wearing them around the house anyway. OK, back to the toys

Paddle Boards

You might have noticed the British waterways dotted with curious sightings of people on large floating devices. Well, these are paddle boards and they've become incredibly popular over the past couple of years. There's nothing like leisurely drifting down a calm river or relaxing in the middle of a lake on a paddleboard. Once you've perfected your balance, you'll start releasing those happy brain chemicals with a smile on your face.

We offer a wide range of paddleboards in various lengths, complete with all the accessories you need to get started, including fins, paddles, bags, and pumps. With high durability and long life, these are pieces of equipment that will stay with you for years, providing lots of fun and memories.

Alright everyone, there you have it. The rest is up to you, so we hope you have the best Summer in 2024, filled with activities, sun, and fun.
