Wooden Play Clips: DIY Fort
First to recommend
Description
These wooden clips (think over-sized clothespins) are pure genius! They make 'fort' building easy as pie for all ages. Simply clip your blanket, flat sheet or other fabric to the kitchen chair, a tree branch or clothesline. The possibilities are endless but, more so with a set of four.

Enchanted Garden Door
First to recommend
Description
In early 2008, we awoke on a spring morning and found a small visitor had taken up residence in our hackberry tree. The appearance of the little door and stone pathway brought curious children to the garden all summer long. We found seashells filled with berries at the doorstep, acorns and even wee flowers. This little wooden door brings a whole lot of magic... if you believe!

FAIRY HOUSES ... EVERYWHERE! by Barry & Tracy Kane
First to recommend
Description
Entertaining enough as a picture book (for boys or girls), but your child's view of the outdoors might never be the same. Pinecones, twigs, and acorn tops are transformed into charming cottages and retreats for wee folk and captured in beautiful photographs.

Child's Jump Rope
First to recommend
Description
Sure it's great exercise and improves coordination but, for kids, a jump rope can transform into firehouse or a wrestling snake. Every outdoor toy chest should have one good jump rope.

Rope Ladder
First to recommend
Description
If you're thinking about adding a swing to the mighty oak, why not add a ladder too? After all, pirates have to scan the seas and monkeys need to climb the trees.

Child's Wood Bird Call
First to recommend
Description
Birdwatching, city or forest, is an opportunity to encourage patience and improve observation skills for little ones. Need to attract a bird or two? Well, this handy little wooden bird whistle is designed just for the smaller set. Partner this call with a laminated bird identification chart for your region and a pair of binoculars and you've got a budding scientist. If they really enjoy birdwatching, help them report their observations to the Lab of Orinthology at Cornell University: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/netcommunity/Page.aspx?pid=708
