Summer Gift Guide: Cool Summer Gift Ideas for Kids

It is officially the start of summer! It can be a great time for trips to the beach, ice cream stops, excursions to the local pool, noshing at backyard BBQs and, most of all, amazing memories. Make those memories more fun with these Summer Gift Ideas for Kids! Whether your are looking for outdoor toys, pool toys or beach toys, or gift ideas for summer birthdays, these Summer Gift Guide products inspire education, foster creativity and engage kids in fun play all summer long.

These are my top Summer Gift Guide picks because they offer the most summer play potential, and many can be used outside or inside on a rainy day too! Yet, most of all, these items can be used beyond the summer, making them an excellent investment for your playrooms!

Best of all? Nothing in this summer guide is over $150 (most are under $50!). So you can ensure that you have plenty of cash left over for carnivals and custard! Click on the digital magazine to see all my picks, or keep scrolling below for the full list of products, and their affiliate links, so you can stock up on these items before school is out.

Happy Summer!
