It's important to keep your children moving - or better still, outside in the fresh air! We have a brilliant range of trikes and bikes for kids; ride on toys for toddlers are great fun and good for building strength - have a look at our Red Classic Metal Trike (there's a pink one too!) or our fantastic Early Rider. We also have a range of pedal-less , or 'running' bikes, which are fantastic for preparing children to ride a proper bike. One of our best selling items is our gorgeous Radio Flyer® Wagon which children love to pull around the garden carrying all sorts of cargo, and all children seem to love our Micro Scooters and skateboards - just don't forget the helmets and knee pads.

But if wheels don't succeed in getting your kids outside, Great Little Trading Co. (gltc.co.uk) have lots of other wonderful children's toys and games for the garden: we have three stunning Kites for blustery days, or try your hand at garden construction with ‘Build Me Up’ Mega Tower. Games are good when you have lots of children around in the holidays - try the Get Knotted Garden Game for some simple but tangled fun, or our Cricket Set and Netball Sets for older children? There are always the old garden faithfuls too - all those traditional garden activities for kids such as seesaws, sandpits and swings. Our range of lovely wooden sandpits includes a Wooden Sandpit with Seats - the lid folds out to make a bench at each end - and a beautiful Sailing Ship Sandpit! We have also found our Mini Gardening Tools and Planting sets to be popular with parents and kids alike, especially our sturdy little wheelbarrow...

For imaginative play in the garden, have a look at our lovely wooden playhouses and forts; there's no need to spend a fortune - try the beautiful Bay Tree Cottage; if you feel like investing in a long lasting garden playhouse with lots to keep them busy have a look at the Apple Tree House. Children love having their own table and chairs outside too - it's great for pretend play as well as tea outside! More active play is provided by our fantastic range of climbing cenres, dens and swings and slides to keeps kids playing happily for hours. Last but not least, try a trampolines - for bouncy fun this summer you can't go wrong.

Hopefully you'll find time for some sandy fun at the beach this summer? Children will love playing with our beach toys - you can fold up the clever Scrunch bucket in your suitcase, while you can relax on our Waterproof Picnic rug, protected from any chilly wind by our gorgeous Beach Windbreak… We also have some some soft and quick drying UV Sun Suits to keep your children safe from UV rays - as well as even have some fantastic Shortie (short leg and arm) and Steamer (long leg and arm) GUL wetsuits for children if you're planning to brave a British beach!

The summer is a good time to get started on learning to swim; it's something all children have to master, but GLTC can help to give your child confidence and keep it fun; we have lots of swimming and buoyancy aids to take to the pool or beach this summer - float suits and jackets are a great help for all children learning to swim, and our pool toys and games for those that need a little practice or who have already mastered the art.
