Inexpensive Toys for Entertaining Young Visitors

The hover disc and hyper disc (another brand) is an outdoor toy.  It is a rather large, about three feet across, inflatable toy that acts like a super Frisbee.  It can do the things a Frisbee can do, but is versatile enough to do so much more.  It can be bounced from the ground to great heights, it can be floated through the air, and most important, it can provide hours of fun.

The hover disc is an inexpensive toy, and can be found for well below twenty dollars.  Some hyper discs price below ten dollars.  If you are looking for economy you should avoid the licensed images that some have.  Those popular characters may be nice, but they add to the cost.  If this is to be used for just a few days you might opt for the lower priced ones.

Since inflatables are subject to damage when striking pointed objects like fences and branches, and can be lost high in trees, having a spare or two is not a bad idea.  It also gives multiple children a chance to all be included, even if one child takes one hover disc over.

Of course helium can make it lighter, and make it float better.  But, I suggest you start with air, which should be good enough for hours of fun.

Inflatable music instruments can be found one at a time, or in packs of several with different colors.  In packs of a dozen the cost can be about one dollar or so for each piece.  The instruments available include guitars, rock star guitars, saxophones, and more.  In fact inflatable microphones are also available.  Why not allow the children to have a pretend band, and if the noise is too great move them to a part of the house that is not being used by the adults?  That way the adults can have a nice visit, and the children can be kept busy. 

Related items like hats and fake glasses are also available. 

These items are inexpensive, especially when bought a dozen or so at a time.  They are intended as party favors, and are some of the nicer party favors available.  In fact, if the children are gathering for a birthday party, allow each child to take one of these when they leave and you will have provided a proper party favor to each one.

Another use for colorful musical instruments is that they make great decorations. 

Miniature footballs, soccer balls, and basketballs can add enjoyment.   These should be soft enough to not cause damage outdoors, and may be safe if there is nothing to be knocked over indoors.  Just get a pack of mixed balls, inflate them, and see what happens. 

These are also in the party favor section, so they can also serve as favors for a birthday party.
