Look no further we have tons of ideas of the best toys for this age range.

From bows and arrows to throw and catch games, stomp rockets to scooters, hoverboards to trampolines - there is something to suit every child.

Tetherball Set

I have fond memories of playing tetherball when I was a child and I enjoy playing it with my son now too. Swingball involves hitting a ball with a bat so that it travels up or down a metal pole. Swingball helps develop hand and eye co-ordination which is great when learning to play other sports too like baseball. It's great fun and can be played on your own or with another person.

We have this and we quite often have a game. My son enjoys playing it on his own too.

Scooter

Trampoline

Trampolines are great fun to have in the backyard. When friends come over everybody wants to have a turn jumping. Its important to be aware of safety and make sure that the trampoline has a secure safety net.
I also just encourage standard jumping up and down to avoid the risk of landing awkwardly. Other safety tips include just one using the trampoline at the time, keeping watch and no rough and tumble on the trampoline.

Before choosing a trampoline make sure you have space in your backyard. It will need to be placed on flat level ground too.

Inflatable Pool

In the hot weather, inflatable pools offer hours of fun. At Grandma's house, all the cousins spend hours playing in the inflatable pool.
You can get all kinds of inflatable pools with slides, squirters and other activities.

Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes

If you want something with a high fun factor, you can't go wrong with these stunt rocket.

Get kids running and jumping around outdoors.

Run, jump and launch the stunt planes.

This would be a fab toy to play in a big open space. For example at the park. Adults will most definitely want a go at these too.

OgoSport Mini OgoDisk ​

 

This is a really versatile outdoor toy that is actually fun for all ages.
It can be used solo as a ball trampoline. Bounce the ball on it's own on the disk.
The disks can be used as frisbees.
Or why not play throw and catch with the balls with another person.
This is a great toy, especially in the summer. It's perfect to take to the park and practise throw and catch skills. Great for improving hand and eye co-ordination.

Jump Rope

Jump rope is a great skill to teach a 6 to 8 year olds. It's fun, great for hand and eye-co-ordination and cardiovascular health.

​It's inexpensive. It's a very portable activity and can be done anywhere there is a space big enough to swing a rope.

The jump rope featured comes in different sizes for children and can be cut down and adjusted if it's too long.

EzyRoller Classic Ride On

This is a unique ride on toy that's perfect for the 6 to 8 year old age group.

Riders use right-left leg movements, pushing the footbar back and forth to move along.

It's tons of fun and can be used indoors or outdoors.

The classic ride on is extendable so it grows with your child. It's suitable for kids from 4 years but teens can use this ride on too!

Ball

Playing ball is another cheap and inexpensive activity which is very portable. My son loves playing soccer, so we will quite often take a ball to the park and practise soccer skills (passing, tackling, dribbling and other skills). We set up goals and one of us will be the goalkeeper and the other will try to score.
You can also play throw and catch games with a ball.

Hoola Hoops

Hoola hooping is another inexpensive toy. There are lots of games you can play with a hoola hoop which help develop all kinds of skills from hand and eye co-ordination to developing fine and gross motor skills. Some ideas include:

Throwing he hoop up in the air and catch it.
Place hoola hoops on the floor next to each other and jump in and out of the hoola hoops.
Race two hoola hoops along the ground
Spin the hoop with your arm
Jump through a hoola hoop instead of jumping rope

Or of course you can hoola hoop with the hoop around your waist. Learning how to hoola hoop can be tricky but it's great for perseverance when learning a new skill. After a few minutes practice everyday kids should be able to pick it up.

Bike

My son learned to ride his bike aged 6 and he really enjoys it. He rides on his bike at the park and outside the house. I am hoping to get myself a bike so we can go on bike rides together.

You can get used kids bikes in good condition as kids tend to grow out of their bikes fairly quickly, so its worth looking on ebay or craigslist. Make sure you buy the right size bike for your child as the wrong size bike will make it more difficult for them to learn how to ride.

A 20 inch bike is normally a good size for a 7 - 8 year old.

Razor FlashRider 360 Caster Trike

Kids love the flash rider. If you want to get them outside, this really does have the fun factor.

It can throw fast 360 degree spins and still keep on cruising.
They also have spark cartridges so kids can get sparks flying as well.

​Just pull on the spark lever to set the sparks off.

Basketball

8 years old can be a nice age to get a first basketball.

Buying a first basketball can provide hours of entertainment.

Kids can learn to bounce, throw it and shoot hoops. Take it to the local park.

8 year old will want the smallest size which is a size 5.

​

Basketball hoop

Basketball hoops and stand are a great way to get kids outdoors, moving around, practicing their hand/eye co-ordination, building their strength, stamina and burning off energy.

Look for a basketball hoop that can easily be height adjusted as it will grow with your child.

Also look for one which is weather and rust resistant.

 

Water Squirters

Some of the most fun my son has in the summer is with a water gun. He loves having water fights and running around trying to get his friends wet and his friends try and get him back! Obviously, water fights have to be planned and organised as well as saved for hot summer days.

However, water guns can also be used for target practice. Set up a target and try and squirt it with water. Water squirters are also great fun to be used in inflatable pools too.
