2. Tee ball to encourage hand-eye coordination

Spring sports may not be played, but your child can still practice their swing with this T-ball set.

Even though spring championship ball leagues are off due to the coronavirus, there's no reason why your child can't practice their hitting skills in the backyard without the Little Tikes TotSports T-ball set with an oversized plastic bat, two balls and a tee area. Since the toy is adjustable, you'll get plenty of use out of it throughout the year, which is great for encouraging hand-eye coordination. Short on space? The set folds easily and can be hung on the wall.

3. A set of gardening tools specially designed for children

It doesn't get much cheaper than a set of gardening tools for children in the spring.

Spring is the ideal time to start a garden. Since many of us homeschool our children, gardening is an easy and hands-on way for kids to learn about where their food comes from. But to be a successful gardener, they'll need their own tools.Melissa & Doug's toy gardening tote set comes with a hand rake, hand trowel, spray bottle and colorful tote bag for children ages 3 and up.

4. Bubble blowing lawn mower

Your child can have a lot of fun with toys such as bubble blowing toy lawn mower (left) or bubble gun (right).

Kids and bubbles mix like peanut butter and jelly. What could be cuter than your child pushing a Fisher-Price bubble mower in the backyard? Recommended for children ages 2 to 5, the bubble mower blows bubbles when pushed and makes real lawn mower sounds.

Don't have a backyard? A bubble gun is a fun way to let your kids enjoy bubbles on the balcony. Of course, kids should be allowed to use the bubble gun on the carpet, so no one slips on the soapy floor.

5. A play house picnic basket with fake food

Melissa & Doug is known for high-quality toys, such as this adorable plush picnic basket playset.

While you may not be able to picnic at your local park right now, your kids can still enjoy spring activities indoors with the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Picnic Basket. The basket has a flip-top lid that makes it easy for kids to open and close. It also comes with a variety of plush toys, such as a 5-piece sandwich set, a slice of watermelon, an ice cream cone and a drink. Each toy makes crunchy, jungle, and squeaky noises for endless playtime for your little ones.

6. Toy vacuum cleaners so they can practice spring cleaning

Spring cleaning, but a toy vacuum that provides real suction makes it fun.

Spring cleaning isn't just for mom and dad, kids can have fun with the Dyson vacuum cleaner vacuum too. My kids love getting the toys and vacuum cleaner out with me. Not only will this toy encourage pretend play, but it does have effective suction and will make vacuum sounds just like the real toy.

7. You can keep them busy for a few hours with the groundwater level

Fill the table with water and let them play with it, or use it indoors on rainy days.

Playing with water may be the ideal sensory activity, especially for small children. If you're lucky enough to have a large enough yard, the water table will keep the kids occupied for hours. However, you can also have just as much fun indoors with a small plastic ball filled with Step 2 Wild Whirlpool groundwater level.

8. The best toys for walking around the neighborhood

Toys with wheels are vital for spring walks in the neighborhood.

In a coronavirus quarantine zone, the only thing that can save me from a dull mood is a walk around the neighborhood. However, I needed a way to pass the time with my kids during outdoor trips. I've been hesitant to add more large plastic toys to our house, but the BBK 2 Whisper Ride On II Kid's Hand Push Ride On is superb. My toddler son loves riding this car, honking the horn, and pretending to steer.

I also needed a way to keep my 7 year old engaged during the 30 minute walk. The answer was the Jetson Pixel Kid scooter. It comes in pink, green, purple and blue and is equipped with LED lights on the wheels and boards. But what I like most about this scooter is the lean steering design. With two wheels on the front and one on the back, kids can control the direction of the scooter by shifting their weight by holding the handlebars. The scooter also has adjustable handles so it can grow with the child.

The set includes colorful, non-toxic and washable chalk, four stencils, a chalk holder and a storage bin. If you don't have enough space for your kids to doodle, you can always hang the chalkboard on your balcony.

10. Foam planes they can throw from the inside out

These toy planes are perfect for throwing in the backyard and are durable enough for everyday use.

My kids love to play with foam planes indoors when the weather is nice or on rainy days. The toy foam plane is lightweight and durable enough to withstand regular use by children. This toy is recommended for ages 4 to 14, but my two year old loves to toss the plane around.
