Lockdown Life: Outdoor Toy Sales Set to Soar
The season of outside play is upon us, so naturally outdoor toys are high in demand. Retailers all over the UK are reporting the beginning of a huge rise in toy sales, indicating there’s a retail opportunity you cannot miss!
There’s nothing quite like the great outdoors. With the coronavirus lockdown restricting recreational activities and a possible heatwave on the cards, many families are rushing to invest in outdoor toys and games. After all, there’s only so many movies you can stream, cakes you can bake and games of monopoly you can lose – it’s difficult trying to entertain kids without leaving the house.
Public playgrounds are now open, so that means your customers and their kids can’t have fun in the sun! Help them make the most of summer with our fun wholesale outdoor toys, all of which can be used without breaking the measures designed to slow the spread of coronavirus. Here are our top four outdoor toys that are sure to fly off your shelves this summer.
1. Involve the Whole Family With a Game of Cricket
The first thing that’s on your customer’s mind when they think of outdoor summer fun is traditional British family games, and there’s nothing more British than than a game of cricket!
Our Wholesale Cricket Set Size 3 set includes everything your customers need to play a quick game of cricket in the garden or on the beach this summer.
Playtime isn’t just for the kids, so games like this allow people of all ages to make the most of the warm weather. We also supply some other classic games that will keep your customers entertained all summer long, such as wholesale Giant Draughts and Badminton Sets. So, stock up on games the whole family will love.
2. Nerf Blasters
Let your customers turn their back garden into a foam-based battle zone with Nerf Guns!
