It is great for children when they can play outside every day, especially when the weather is nice of course. Some people have a garden, others just a balcony (net).
To be able to play with a toy on a balcony, it should not be too small so that it cannot fall through the bars. On the other hand, the toy should not be too big: it should fit within the dimensions of the balcony.
Trampolines and slides we can unfortunately forget, but children can play with water and sand on a balcony, for example.
Fortunately, there are plenty of fun toys for children that they can play with on a balcony or terrace!

As you may have read, there are plenty of fun toys for the balcony. We hope we've given you plenty of ideas for safe and beautiful toys!
Always make sure that your balcony is safe enough for the kids. The railing of your balcony should be at least 1,2 meters to ensure that a child cannot climb over it.
It is also important to seal open fencing as well as possible, especially if the openings are large.
Finally, it is nice if your little one can play on a soft surface, such as artificial grass or an outdoor rug.
