Every year parents manically look for the next best toy on the market with the new craze being fitness equipment for the games console, extreme fun games all in the comfort of your front room.
You cant beat though, the fun to be had on outdoor games which provide the best exercise kids can get while having fun.
This is even better as the children are out in the fresh air, interacting with each other but gaining life skills which even on the most sophisticated console game, cannot teach.
One of the most famous and popular toys which is still a very popular Christmas toy is the trampoline.
Be it round, rectangular or Oval they are so popular and so much fun, kids can be found playing on them for hours at a time in their back garden.
If you decide to look into buying a trampoline for Christmas, then a good recommendation is the Jumpking JumpPOD Oval Trampoline which can be found online from many different retailers.
The Oval shape of this excellent trampoline means it can stand in many odd shaped gardens and still provide superb high quality and safety for children of all ages.
The Oval shape took the world by storm on its release and is still one of the most popular trampolines to buy.
For safety, the trampoline as with many similar round trampolines comes with a safety enclose net.
This prevents children falling from the trampoline, onto the ground which could cause serious injury.
The enclose simply slots into the trampolines frame so it could not be easier.
Another option for high activity outdoors is the wooden climbing frame.
Even though a wooden climbing frame can be much larger than a trampoline, the fun to be had, exercise, imagination makes them very much a worthwhile investment.
Due to properly treated wood, a wooden climbing frame can last many years and easily stand the test of time.
What is also excellent is they do not loose interest with children as children grow older like console or computer games can do.
A less popular option for high intensity activity but still a excellent present is the playhouse.
Ideal for both girls and boys, a wooden playhouse stands sturdy in your back garden, providing shelter throughout the year for children to play away from the house but also in the safety of their back garden.
A wooden playhouse can have one or two levels depending on the design with included windows and a opening door.
Whichever option you may decide on, take care with the safety aspects of one of these big toys in the back garden.
Each should be stood away from any surrounding walls, shrubs, houses or anything else which may be in the way when getting on and off the toy.
this also prevents any bangs which may occur if the unlikely was to happen and a child fall off the toy.
All in all, great idea toys providing hours or fun, just take note of the safety aspects for a great time for all the kids.
