#fridaylive Outdoor Toys Special

With summer nearly here – and the annual rumours of a British heatwave on the front pages of the papers – we’ve been having fun in the, um, drizzle with some of the biggest and best outdoor play equipment we could get our hands on. Every child loves a playhouse, a scooter and a trampoline (with a safety net for peace of mind), and these animal bouncers are a fantastic update on the popular space hoppers of the 70s and 80s. Check out this toddler rollercoaster track – and we defy anyone (of any age) not to want a giant inflatable water-squirting elephant for hot days. Watch the video for loads more ideas and info – and don’t miss the end if you want to see fairground-phobic presenter Jo tackle the only rollercoaster we could get her onto!
