Sunny Day Devices - Outdoors Toys for Girls 2012-2013

Razor A Kick Scooter @ Amazon

While we’ve covered the few indoor toys for kids, we’ve yet to delve deep into what little ladies love when they’re living it up outside. Outdoor toys have to meet a huge criterion of awesome to be considered for most families – which is why the following 2 have made the grade when it comes to the top toys for girls age 10 and up.

Razor A Kick Scooter

Available in a wide range of colors, this scooter is great on most surfaces with gravel and carpet being the 2 exceptions. An original kick scooter made from aircraft grade aluminum, this contraption has a patented rear fender brake for quick, efficient stopping power. Plus, it only weighs 6 pounds and has a 6-month warranty plan – just in case there are any defects associated with the scooter. Dubbed “the handy little ride,” this quick trip is the best for getting your girl from point A to point B without walking or riding the bus. Short trips become fun again! This scooter also has a weight capacity of 143 pounds, so your gal is good to go for years to come. Some parents might even find this fun to ride when work is right around the corner and there’s traffic forever in sight.

360 Flash Rider @ Amazon

Razor 360 Flash Rider

Great for those little drifts and whirls on asphalt, this rider is a pink spinning big-wheel trike with a pneumatic front wheel and inclined rear-casters for resistance-free spinning. Your little lady can put the proverbial pedal to the metal as she twirls around the block on a rider built for one. This would make a great Christmas gift when combined with knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet – all the things that make a scooter-like rider safe for kids. Your daring darling won’t be disappointed!

Rainy Days for Girls - Indoors Toys 2012-2013

Live Butterfly Garden @ Amazon

Surprisingly, the top toys for girls age 10 and up aren’t something they can play with outside; they’re meant for a mostly indoor environment. Dubbed rainy day devices, these toys bring the joys of being outside to inside when weather has grown cold, damp, and dreary. What are these miraculous indoor activities?

Insect Lore Live Butterfly Garden

Bringing the magic of butterflies inside when April has one too many showers, this set includes a waterproof PVC fabric shell. It’s 100% reusable and collapses after use for easy storage. Especially great for homeschooled children, this kit would provide the perfect science experiment in the comfort of your own home. Included is a mail-in voucher ($5.00 fee) for 5 butterfly larvae and the special food to sustain them. Your kids will watch as the larvae go through the stages until a butterfly is reborn from a cocoon. Afterwards, your tykes can let the butterflies go out into the wild, storing the collapsible “garden” until next Spring when a new coupon can be mailed for more larvae and new experiences.

Olivia House Set @ Amazon

LEGO Friend’s Olivia House

Comprised of almost 700 pieces, this LEGO set is the best for little girls who like to spend hours building, rebuilding, and decorating. 3 mini-figurine dolls (Olivia, Mom, and Dad) and a sweet cat named Kitty accompany this pack with tons of fun accessories (hairbrush, cherries, milk carton – everything your kids needs to build a comfortable living space for dolls). There’s no specific order for these LEGO blocks, as the manufacturers wanted to give kids as much creative freedom as possible -- although, there is a small instruction manual to get them started. As soon as the rooms are built, the decorations and furniture can be arranged to offer Olivia’s miniature family a cozy place to be.
