Our new Outdoor Nugget is perfect for cloud watching, fort building, obstacle course racing, and anything else growing imaginations can dream of. Here are a few of our favorite summer play ideas, perfect for backyards, driveways, and other outdoor spaces.

Summertime Sprinklers

While the Nugget should not be submerged completely in water, the fabric is water-resistant and a great addition to any summertime fun. 

Obstacle Course Races
