Cool Toys and Gifts for Kids Who Need to Get Outside More

We love the toys that let kids get out, get crazy, and okay, maybe get out of our hair just a wee bit. On behalf of our awesome sponsor Micro Kickboard, who makes seriously fantastic scooters and outdoor toys for kids of all ages like the super popular Micro Mini Classic Scooter, here are our favorite gifts for kids that just might make them put down the tablets and step away from the TV, all on their own.
