Kid's Outdoor Play

Building a top-secret fort, running around with grass between their toes, staying out ‘til the sun sets with mud smears on their face; the garden is where children make some of their happiest memories.

Give them everything they need for hours of fun and fresh air with Cuckooland’s outdoor play toys and accessories. From giant garden games to playful hideouts and uber-cool go karts, transform your outdoor space into a magical world of fun and fantasy. There’s nothing that kids love more than having their own little hideout - strictly off bounds to adults of course! From wicked wigwams to portable playhouses that look like fairy cottages and farms, we’ve got some delightful dens where they can hang out and play make-believe. If you’re looking for the wow factor, check out our amazing Wooden Wendy Houses; with single and double-storey dwellings, there’s room to fit all their friends inside.

Cuckooland has selected a superb range of play pits where kids can dig, pat and mix to their heart’s content, including a terrific train-shaped number complete with a tunnel, and a sand-filled pirate ship ready to set sail. Our range of outdoor floor games will provide hours of entertainment and belly laughs for the whole family – especially when Dad loses. We’ve got a super-size collection of the classics, from Mega Jenga and Snakes and Ladders to our Giant Garden Chessboard that will keep them quiet for hours.

While you may not be ready to let your little one venture far yet, our assortment of Ride-on Cars and Bikes are perfect for zooming safely around the garden. Turn your turf into a race track with their very own Ferrari pedal go cart, or keep things retro with our Route 66 Chopper Pedal Bike that handles those corners like a breeze. Get them off the sofa and outside with a little help from Cuckooland.

Kid's Outdoor Play FAQs  

Your creativity is paramount when it comes to outdoor play: go for broke (figuratively speaking that is!) where you can, and make that outdoor space sizzle with energy and timeless appeal.

Here are the Top 5 questions our customers ask us: 

1. What ages are your trampolines and swings suitable for?

The size of a trampoline will dictate who’s appropriate for it. Kids up to the age of nine should be fine with an 8ft or 10ft diameter; anyone over that (ten years+) will be better off with a 12ft trampoline, at the very least. For swings, we generally recommend no child under the age of three, or over eight should be using them on a regular basis. The benchmark may be higher, however, with some of our larger frames – refer to the individual product page to make sure. Also, remember you can lengthen or shorten the straps to get young children comfortable with them.

2. Do your wooden playhouses arrive fully assembled?

No, but they come with a full set of instructions! An extra pair of hands will be required to build the structure from its flat-packed state. The estimated time for this varies between three to six hours, relative to the complexity of the playhouse you’ve bought. Remember as well that we do offer a professional 2 man installation service should this be required- simply call our super friendly team on +44 (0) 1305 231231 and they'll make hay while the sun shines.

3. How do I prepare a base for outdoor fabric play houses?

We sell dedicated floor quilts that can weather moisture on your turf, designed for a quick and brisk clean. Our floor quilts come as a matching item to the fabric play tents too. For any item that’s out of proportion with the bases in our list, we recommend an outdoor rug or simply lay a picnic blanket down (or tarpaulin, for damp weather), topped with two or three pillows.

4. Can I leave wigwams and play tents outside all-year round?

No – it’s far better to take them indoors after use, conserving the softness and strength of the fabric. Leaving them out for a day or two in the spring/summer is okay, but you’ll risk a sheen of dew plastering to the material overnight. It only takes several minutes to get them erected and taken down, so you won’t have any problems in this regard.

5. Is it easy to operate a go-kart?

Yes, it certainly is, thanks to several built-in features! Some benefit from several gears, which can adjust to move up or down a surface with less effort. Others have stationary brake systems. All of them are almost soundless, with very light wheels and a pedal system that’s independent of the steering.
