Easter baskets

[Melaine]

Any suggestion for outdoor toys for tweens? Or active stuff?

i can not tell you how popular the slackline has been for my 12 year olds! Maybe pricey for an Easter basket but crazy amount of time gets spent on it!

How is it set up? Do you need trees the right distance apart?

It does go between trees, but it's adjustable and you can buy in different lengths.

We have something like this frisbee game. Not this exact one, but idk the brand for ours. Big Easter basket hit one year.

I know there is also some frisbee game involving pop-up cans, but like Spikeball, it just wasn't as big a hit here. Bottom line - if you have to pause to look over or explain the rules, our kids are never going to play it. They prefer things that are more immediate and easy with friends.

Other hits, some Easter, some not:
outdoor bowling set used with a kickball or a giant kickball.
darts
archery set (started with toys when they were younger, more legit bows now)
sportscreen
GoPro - if they can film it, everything seems more fun, apparently
slackline
zipline
climbing wall (set up along a hidden side of shed one year)
croquet
bocce
paddleball
volleyball and basketball for pool
Water guns. An arsenal, really. The teens do some pretty elaborate games with those.
Giant slip and slide plus inflatable boogie boards

Thanks. Bummer. I think it'd be a hit here, but no where to put it.

I'm thinking swimsuits for both kids since they have outgrown theirs. Maybe flip flops for DD, she's outgrown hers and something for outside..
