Keep the little ones busy this summer with our round-up of bubble guns, NERF sprayers, oversized games and more.

Summer is a season full of fun, but when you're a kid — it's simply magical.  School is out for the youngsters, and calendars are filled with pool parties, backyard barbeques, and summer vacations.

Make it a summer they'll remember with outdoor activities they will want to enjoy day after day. This doesn't mean shelling out cash for pricey amusement park tickets or driving them to the local pool every afternoon — some of the most fun of summer can be had in your own backyard. Active children will adore a water gun fight or a slip-in-slide on the lawn, while the artsy or inquisitive child may prefer creating bubble art or a National Geographic rocket launching kit.

There are numerous outdoor games that would be a hit at any birthday parties or family gatherings this summer. We especially like the special edition game of Twister that connects to your garden hose for a sprinkler effect or a similar edition of Hasbro's Operation.

Below, check out the best outdoor summer activities for kids from Amazon. As a bonus, many of these options are on sale right now.
