    Cherished, you know what's in ours!

    Can't wait for DS' 'play deck' to be finished cos it'll have the sand and water pits (with balls, trucks etc, bucket and spade), cubby, chalkboard lids for chalk, bench seat with underneath storage and pot plants with herbs/flowers etc DS' favourite toys aren't the kids toys. It's seeds, nuts, bark, leaves, garden tools, watering can, pots, rocks etc (and inside it's boxes, empty cling wrap rolls, plastic containers, shells, lids, dress ups...)

    Maybe also:
    bubble blowing gear
    lots of containers for putting stuff in, stacking, 'bowling'
    paint brushes for painting with water
    kiddie table and chairs
    lots of balls

    The thing that gets used most at our place is the swing. It was $69 from Bunnings and it's a double one. It seriously gets used rain hail and shine.
    Ooh I didn't know you could get double ones?! We have had a singular swing for around 4 years now (have replaced it once already due to too much playing resulting in a side snapping!!) and it gets fought over all the time. Might have to go check out Bunnings now.

    We have:

    A singular swing in the grass
    A baby swing hanging from the patio
    A massive wooden raised cubby house with slide
    A Little Tikes Slide (one of the best buys, it cost $89 6 years ago and is still going strong and is very well used. Very sturdy too)
    Lots of balls of various shapes and sizes
    Bikes
    Scooters
    Ride-ons
    Tonka trucks
    Other various "outdoor" toys like buckets etc
    Lots of bubbles and bubble blowing things
    Gardening tools

    Have had totem tennis but that broke and we never replaced it. Same with a chalk board.

    And we are getting a big tramp this year for xmas.

    we have a clam pool.
    that's it
    oh, and a great big concrete area beside the big pool, which would make a lovely patch of grass if only it wasn't unfenced and covered in cement!
