Now that the hot weather has arrived, I see a lot of plastic backyard toys popping up in my neighborhood that sort of ruin the view! (I apologize if that sounds snobby!) With so many well designed outdoor toys to choose from that won't break the bank, all you need is a little imagination (and the internet) to find toys that add to the beauty of your yard. And you can't get much cuter than ladybugs! Here are a few of my favorite ladybug toys:
The Wheely Bug ride-on toy goes backwards, forwards, sideways, and in circles. It can be ridden outdoors and indoors without harming your floor. Originally made in Australia, the Wheely Bug is now made in China under strict European manufacturing standards. Awarded the best Australian toy 5 years in a row and won the Silver Award in the Netherlands as the best baby and infant product of 2007. Buy it for $64.95 plus free shipping.
A Ladybug Tree Swing is much cuter than an ordinary swing. The swing is made of wood and is 12 inches in diameter and can hold 150 pounds. There is also a Leaf Tree Swing. Imagine them both side by side. Each swing is $29.99.
The Ladybug Ball from Togu is a glossy, little ball that's ideal for small hands. Only 4 inches in diameter and made in Germany. Only $3.99.
Crocodile Creek's ball is 7 inches in diameter and made of rubber (does not containt PVC). Buy it for $8.99.
