For toddlers:
42.) Strider balance bike

It can be configured into all different shapes etc for jumping, tumbling, fort-building fun!
*** Just found out this is sold out for Christmas, but always good for after ***
45.) Binxin mini trampoline indoor/outdoor with adjustable handle
For more jumping fun, consider a mini trampoline for working out all that energy when the weather outside doesn’t permit!
46.) Collapsable Beach Paul
A collapsible sand pail that’s perfect for the beach! And because it is silicone, it won’t crack and break like plastic ones!
