They're here-the dog days of summer. Need something new to add to the backyard, basement, or playroom? We have a great selection of affordable quality toys, outdoor and indoor active play, and arts and crafts projects and activities-just in time for the warm season. As parents ourselves, we know that you need a little help sometimes keeping the kids entertained (and squashing those "I'm bored" moments). We're happy to help! As much as possible, let's get the kids outside exercising their bodies while having fun. Choose a family-friendly game of croquet, ping-pong, or basketball-or try a new tree swing. Set up some friendly competitive races with our new improved Hop 'n Go Unicorns and Horses. These activities provide exercise for their bodies, but also a chance to work on problem-solving skills and teamwork...and they're just plain fun! Add water to the mix to stay cool on a hot day with any of our new water slides or sprinklers. Embark on some driveway fun with chalk art activities, or a set of classic Playground Games (remember the days of hopscotch? Let's bring them back!) If the weather forbids outdoor play, we’ve still got you covered. Head inside and build a fort-the perfect place for a kid to create their own "world within a world." Allow them to take a book or a favorite toy into their secret hideaway-a great way for kids to learn to entertain themselves and enjoy a little quiet time in midst of the madness of everyday life. Want to nurture their imaginative spirit? Select a paint-your-own art project or one of our new tin tea sets, and watch the fantastical adventures and creativity soar! No matter what your idea is of a perfect summer day, HearthSong has everything you need to create those memories that will last a lifetime.
