The Best Outdoor Toys for Summer 2024
Do you guys feel that? Those brighter, warmer days? Even though there’s still a slight chill in the air during this Springtime, we all know it can only mean one thing…Summer is nearly here! Bring on the sunny evenings, the BBQs, paddling pools, ice creams and long days out at the park. There’s nothing like the Great British Summer, but it comes and goes all too quickly, so we’ve got this blog post to help get you prepared. Whether you love messing about in the garden, lazing in the pool or going out on an adventure, there’s something here for everyone and as the home of outdoor action sports, SkateHut is the one stop shop for Summer fun in 2024.
Toys for the Garden
Let’s kick things off with garden toys and this hand-picked selection will make your garden a paradise for fun-loving kids and adults alike, but looking at the trends, group activity games have started to take off again after the pandemic and we get to mess about with friends and family once more without any restrictions.
Funslinger
Massively popular last year, Funslinger will make another appearance in parks and gardens throughout the country this Summer. With a pair of catchers and a shuttle the makes a cool whistling noise as it zips through the air, you can practice your throwing game with your mate. The slingers give you that extra leverage to launch the shuttle for long distances and for anyone with a cannon for an arm, it’s amazingly satisfying.
The Funslinger is a great toy for the garden, park and even the beach. Take it with you abroad on your holibobs, camping or just have it ready to bring out in your porch at home. This is a great garden toy for under £20 currently and will provide hours of fun, but more importantly, will get your kids active and happy!
Pogo Sticks
Who knew pogo sticks would make a monumental come-back in 2024!? From space hoppers to pogo sticks, if it’s one thing that hasn’t changed in decades, it’s the fact that kids love launching themselves in the air, much to many parents dismay…but hey, they’re having fun. That’s why SkateHut has a fantastic range of pogo sticks at super low prices for your kids (or yourself) to practice your balance and coordination in a fun and exciting way.
With top brands like Flybar, Krunk and even Madd Gear Pro, there’s a pogo stick for all sizes and ages and once you’ve mastered hopping around on a bouncy stick, you can show off to all your friends, because let’s face it, it’s impressive when done right.

Toys for the Water
Ok, so you don’t have to stay on dry land to have fun this Summer and we’ve certainly seen more and more people take to the waves, the rivers and lakes recently, so here are some awesome must-haves for splashing about with this Summer 2024.
Gotcha Bodyboards
Following the pandemic, everyone realised how amazing some of the UK’s coasts are, with pristine beaches, clear waters and waves of all sizes, taking a staycation has proved both popular for relaxing during the Summer break, but also a lot friendly on the purse.
Here’s something else that’s friendly on your purse; Gotcha bodyboards! With various colours to choose from, the 37” bodyboards are perfect for skimming along the waves or just simply as a handy floatation device. Suitable for both kids and adults, they also come with a handy strap so you don’t lose it when hitting the foam, but that will surely happen only rarely. We believe in you! SkateHut are also offering a great bundle with 10% off with bodyboards and changing robes, so make sure you grab this while it lasts…which brings me onto the next thing.
Changing Robes
They’re not technically a toy, but surely you can forgive us? Well anyway, changing robes are a fantastic piece of kit, feeling like you’re being hugged by a big fuzzy monster. They’ll keep you warm and dry because, let’s face it, the British Summer isn’t always glorious, and the weather can turn at a moment’s notice.
With Osprey and Drybrobe in our range, we have sizes for both adults and children. They’re so comfy you’ll probably just end up wearing them around the house anyway. OK back to the toys
Paddle Boards
You may have seen the British waterways dotted with strange appearances of people atop big floating devices. Well, these are paddle boards and they’ve become incredibly popular over the past couple of year. There’s nothing like leisurely drifting down a calm river or chilling in the middle of a lake on a paddle board and once you’ve mastered your balance, you’ll begin releasing those happy brain chemicals with a smile on your face.
We’ve got a huge range of paddle boards in various lengths, complete with all the accessories to get you started, including fins, paddles, bags and pumps. With high durability and long-life these are bits of kit which will stay with you for years, offering loads of fun and memories.
