kids croquet - Stuff Parents Need

Thanks to Magic Cabin for providing the kids croquet set for review and giveaway. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m so sad to see October go, friends. Hands-down, it is my favorite month of the year. Where I live in eastern Tennessee, the weather during the month is nothing short of delightful. There’s a crispness in the air, but it’s not enough to keep you indoors at all. And while our trees don’t put on the same show that you’ll find further north, they still hold their own and give us plenty of beauty as the colors turn. And it seems like you can’t throw a rock around here without hitting a festival of some sort.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Since I want to be outside as much as possible, soaking up that good weather (that fortunately for us, should continue for most of November), I have been hunting for some great outdoor games for the girls. Magic Cabin has what I am quite certain is the world’s cutest kids croquet set. All you need is a patch of open spaceand two players and you are good to go!

The woodland croquet set comes with these 6 adorable croquet hoops (sorry…I’m not in the know about official croquet terms). It also comes with two wooden mallets and two balls.

The little critters stand up easily thanks to wooden planks. So there’s no need to poke the ground in any way! I really like this because it means that if you had a large enough space (such as a finished basement), you could even play this game inside once the weather is just too cold.

I only “sort of” know how to play this game. I know that you need to knock your ball with your mallet through each hoop. After that, it gets real fuzzy. But for a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old to play, I knew plenty! And friends, they were so cute playing this game together! They had such a blast and so many laughs, so I thought it be to not interfere in the fun with too many rules (not that I knew them!). We’ll work on technique down the line! 😉

This is my new go-to item for when we have play dates or for getting out a bit of energy before dinner. The set is absolutely lovely and my kids find it highly entertaining. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for something new for your kids to do in the back yard! It retails for $64.98.
