Garden Swings
Outdoor Baby Swing
100004402€27.99
The Outdoor Wooden Baby Swing combines a birchwood seat, PE suspension ropes and an enclosed rail frame in a compact hanging seat for gentle back-and-forth movement. The rope length is adjustable from about 140 to 210 cm, which helps match the swing to different mounting heights, while the 30 x 30 cm seat area creates a clearly defined place to sit. Four suspension points hold the seat evenly, and the surrounding wooden bars shape the frame around the sitting area instead of leaving the sides open. Front retaining straps add another concrete support element at the seat. The maximum load of 20 kg applies to the child seated in the swing. Natural birchwood gives the seat its visible structure, while the PE ropes provide the hanging connection above. This 1-piece swing suits garden setups as well as covered play areas where a suspended seat can become part of everyday movement play. For children aged 1Y+, the combination of a compact seat, enclosed frame and adjustable hanging length creates a straightforward swing setup for calm, repeated motion.

Outdoor 2-in-1 Gym-Set
100004510€17.99
The Outdoor Gym-Set 2in1 combines a hardwood trapeze bar with 2 PE rings in one hanging play accessory, creating different ways to grip, hang and swing. With height-adjustable ropes from about 110 to 160 cm and a bar length of 48 cm, the setup brings active movement into the garden while fitting a range of mounting heights. The wooden bar supports a broad overhand grip, while the 2 rings shift the hand position and change how each movement feels. That combination encourages repeated practice with hanging, short swings and simple gym-style actions without needing a large footprint. The rope construction keeps the bar and rings connected as one unit, so the change from bar grip to ring grip happens directly on the same setup. Hardwood and PE bring together a natural bar surface and shaped handles that are easy to grasp. Mounted on a suitable outdoor frame, the Gym-Set 2in1 adds a focused movement station for ages 3Y+. The maximum user weight on the set is 60 kg, making it suitable for everyday hanging and swinging sessions in the garden or play area.

Outdoor Quoits Set
100004405€14.99
The Outdoor Quoits Set brings classic target play to the lawn with a 50 x 50 cm cross-shaped base, 9 upright pegs and 5 throwing rings. Printed score values on the pinewood base give each peg a clear role in the game, so every throw can be followed by simple point counting and another round. The ring toss setup uses rope loops with wooden beads, adding a tactile grip that supports controlled release and repeat throws. With 16 parts in total, the set lays out quickly for aiming games that focus on hand-eye coordination, concentration and steady throwing. The different score markings create room for simple house rules, head-to-head matches or practice rounds built around accuracy. The pinewood construction keeps the look grounded in a traditional outdoor game format. On grass in the garden, the set works for short scoring rounds, turn-based family play or casual target practice between other outdoor activities. Age marking: 3Y+ means the game suits early throwing practice with clear targets and visible points.
Garden Toys
Outdoor Mikado
100004591€8.99
The Outdoor Mikado brings the classic pick-up sticks game into a format with 41 bamboo sticks, each measuring 50 cm in length and 6 mm in diameter. The long rods spread into a loose pile for careful lift-by-lift play, where one stick is removed at a time without shifting the others. Colored sections on the sticks make the set easy to sort visually during each round. The bamboo construction gives the game its light, slender feel, while the 50 cm format creates clear spacing on lawns, patios or larger indoor surfaces. Each turn depends on controlled finger movement and close observation of how the sticks rest against one another. That simple mechanism keeps the action easy to understand while giving every move a precise physical task. The set includes 41 sticks and an instruction sheet. On grass in the garden, on a terrace or during a family game session, the scattered-stick setup creates a calm contest built around concentration and steady handling. The 3Y+ age marking makes it easy to bring this traditional dexterity game into shared play with simple rules and repeat rounds.

The wooden setup keeps the handling straightforward, so the focus stays on aiming, knocking down pieces and setting up the next round. The 13 parts create a compact game arrangement that works well for repeated turns and simple score-based variations. Pinewood gives the pieces a natural look, while the uniform 45 mm size supports consistent handling from throw to throw. The game format encourages hand-eye coordination, concentration and active movement through clear physical actions rather than complicated setup. Rounds fit naturally into outdoor play sessions in the garden, on the patio or at the park. The wooden pieces can be arranged, reset and played again in quick succession, making the set a practical choice for movement-based games from age 3+.

Outdoor Activity Game
100004533€11.99
This movement game combines 20 round motif discs with a cotton fabric bag in a format that is easy to carry and quick to set out. Each disc measures 8 cm and gives enough space for illustrated prompts that turn every round into an active task with stepping, balancing or holding a pose. The set is marked 3Y+ and suits shared play where children draw, place and respond to the next movement shown on the disc. The basswood plywood discs bring a tactile play element, while the fabric bag keeps all 21 parts together between sessions. The illustrated actions shown in the product visuals include jumping, balance poses, directional turns and short hold times such as 5 sec. or 10 sec., giving the game a clear action-based structure. This supports coordination, concentration and body awareness through simple physical prompts rather than complex rules. The round format also makes the discs easy to spread across a blanket, lawn or floor for changing layouts. In the garden, at the park or indoors on a play mat, the set creates active rounds for 1 child or a small group. Discs can be placed in a path, drawn from the bag or arranged for matching and movement tasks, bringing variety to family play and preschool activity time.

Outdoor Birdhouse
100004581€24.99
This birdhouse craft set combines a build-and-paint activity with a finished wooden nesting house in one 12-part project. Basswood parts are assembled with screws, then decorated with the included brush and 6 coordinated paint colours, giving each surface room for patterns, colour blocks or small outdoor motifs. The finished birdhouse measures 14 x 14 x 24 cm, creating a compact format that sits comfortably on a table during crafting and remains easy to place outdoors afterwards. The assembly time is stated as 30 minutes, which keeps the making process focused and manageable. A hanging cord is included, and the back fixture provides a second mounting option for secure placement. The round entrance hole measures 3.5 cm in diameter and is intended for great tits and sparrows measuring about 14 to 16 cm, so the decorative result also serves a real purpose in the garden or on a balcony. Painting the roof, front and side panels turns each step into a practical exercise in brush control, colour placement and careful screwing. Once completed, the birdhouse works as a crafted outdoor piece that can be displayed hanging freely or fixed in place.

100004592€22.99
This Outdoor Croquet Set combines pinewood rackets, 4 balls and a classic lawn course into an outdoor game with clear, hands-on action.

The 18-piece set includes 2 rackets, 4 balls, 2 stakes and 10 metal goals, creating a full course that can be arranged for short practice rounds or longer garden matches. The metal goals mark each section of the route, while the stakes define target points and help structure the sequence of play. Striking, aiming and placing the balls between the gates supports coordination, concentration and turn-taking through repeated attempts on the lawn. In the garden, on a park lawn or during outdoor play sessions, the set creates a simple activity built around movement and accuracy. One player can practice controlled shots through the goals, or 2 players can take turns and follow the course from stake to stake.

Outdoor Feeding House
100004582€24.99
The Outdoor Feeding House combines building and painting in one 7-part craft set. Basswood parts form a hanging feeding house with an open tray and a pitched roof, and the finished size of 14 x 14 x 24 cm gives the project a clear presence for outdoor placement. Brush and paint are included, so the natural wood surfaces can be decorated with individual color layouts once assembly is complete. The 30-minute assembly stage adds a practical making step before the painting begins. Roof panels, side sections and base elements come together as a real object with a visible function, which gives the craft activity more structure than a flat paint project. Working with the brush on the assembled shape supports controlled hand movements, while choosing colors for the roof and walls encourages planning and visual contrast across the different wooden surfaces. Placed on a balcony, terrace or in the garden, the finished feeding house becomes a handmade outdoor accent with a personal painted finish. The combination of assembly, painting and later hanging use makes it a focused creative project for ages 6Y+.

Outdoor Kids Sunchair
100004546€34.99
The Kids Sunchair combines an adjustable reclining frame with a child-sized format for relaxed outdoor seating. A beechwood construction, a 30 cm seat width and a textile sling made from 100% PE create a clear, classic deckchair look that fits naturally on the lawn, terrace or balcony. The fabric includes UV protection, and the rear support uses visible adjustment notches to change the backrest angle for different sitting positions. The folding frame keeps the construction straightforward, while the side rails and crossbars hold the seat fabric in place. With a maximum weight of 40 kg on the seat, the lounger is designed for everyday use as a children's sun lounger rather than as a full-size deckchair. The single-piece format keeps the focus on the chair itself, with no extra parts to manage. The natural beechwood surface and striped textile give the seat a bright outdoor character without adding unnecessary bulk. Set on grass in the garden, placed on the patio for a quiet break or used on the balcony during warm weather, the lounger creates a dedicated place to sit back. The adjustable angle supports different moments, from upright seating with a book to a more reclined position for resting outdoors.

The pitched roof, open front and hanging hole give the structure a clear wall-mounted format for garden or balcony use. During the build, the individual wooden parts create a focused making task that supports fine motor control and concentration through screwing, fitting and painting. The open compartments offer space for arranging collected natural materials such as twigs, cones or small branches, adding a personal finish to the bee house once the paint has dried. The compact format keeps the project manageable while still giving the finished shelter a visible presence outdoors. The set suits craft sessions at the table, then moves easily to an exterior wall or sheltered outdoor spot after assembly. Age 6Y+ marks the recommended age for the project, and the included bee house, brush and paint provide the core parts needed for the activity.

Eichhorn outdoor toys - children's toys for the garden
Off to the garden - if you're lucky enough to have a patch of green in front of the house, you can give children lots of fun with exciting outdoor toys. Lots of exercise in the fresh air included. Whether outdoor swings, outdoor skill games or games of movement - there are a few things to consider when buying outdoor toys.
Why are outdoor toys so important for children?
Children need plenty of exercise every day - and preferably in the fresh air. There are plenty of opportunities to play at public playgrounds, but also on excursions. In your own garden, you can have even more fun with the right outdoor toys. There are suitable outdoor toys for every age group that optimally promote children's coordination, concentration and motor skills.
Promotion of motor skills
In the afternoon, a quick round in the garden - this is a good balance to daycare and school and at the same time promotes the motor skills of your child.
Strengthening of the immune system
Regular exposure to fresh air strengthens the immune system and reduces the likelihood of illness. Children should therefore go outside every day, no matter what the weather. With the right clothing and creative outdoor children's toys, playing is fun even in bad weather.
Movement promotion
Toddlers and school children need a lot of exercise to learn and get rid of excess energy. With the right outdoor garden toys, a short exercise session is always possible.
Promotion of coordination
In addition, high-quality children's toys for outdoors promote coordination and dexterity - and in group games even social interaction, for example, when playing with parents, friends or siblings.
Creativity promotion
Last but not least, various children's toys for the garden can be used to encourage creativity while building and playing.
What kind of outdoor children's toys are suitable from what age?
Outdoor toys are available for different age groups - from babies to toddlers aged three and up, outdoor games for the garden are great fun. The age recommendations given by the manufacturers are not always 100 percent appropriate. Therefore, always orient yourself to the respective developmental stage of your child.
Outdoor toys for under 3 years old
For children under the age of three, simple outdoor toys are particularly suitable. For instance, swings and toys that are suitable for children's motor and physical abilities. After swinging on one of the classic Eichhorn outdoor swings, kids can relax on the comfortable children's sun chair. After a short break, energy is restored and the game can continue.
Outdoor toys from the age of 3
From the age of three, children often have better coordination and can try wooden garden toys that encourage climbing and playing - for example, toys such as rope ladders, gym sets or the popular Mikado are ideal for this age.
Tip: For older children is suitable outdoor toys for seven years. For example, the popular game croquet, which offers a lot of fun together with friends.
What should be considered when buying outdoor children's toys?
Do you want to buy new toys for the garden? To ensure that your child plays safely and receives optimal support, the material properties of the toy are important in addition to the age recommendation.
Age recommendation
Whether outdoor toys from four or for a younger child - the manufacturer's specification is important as a rough guide. Baby outdoor toys should not contain small parts that could be swallowed. Beads, marbles and small balls are therefore only suitable for older children.
Development
Toys are developmentally beneficial when they appeal to the child's senses and encourage creative play. Whether concentration, dexterity or coordination - outdoor toys support children in their development in many ways.
High-quality processing
Functional, safe and stable - outdoor toys must meet high requirements so that they last a long time. High-quality outdoor toys are made of robust materials that do not break down quickly, even under heavy use. The wood must not splinter or break.
To meet safety standards, it must also meet DIN standards and must not be contaminated with harmful substances. Plastics, paints, varnishes and impregnations that are harmful to children are taboo.
Tip: When attaching swings and rope ladders, make sure that they are securely fastened. Pay attention to the note on the maximum load capacity in kilograms.
Weather resistant or weatherproof
To protect your outdoor toys against influences such as rain, snow or sunlight, you should brush them with a layer of wood stain and always keep them dry in winter. This way, your child can benefit from their toys for a long time and learn how important it is to handle sensitive materials like wood responsibly.
