With warm weather finally arriving across the country, families everywhere are setting their sites on the outdoors…and outdoor play!

Long gone are the days when playing outdoors meant simply bikes and sidewalk chalk. But for some kids, this image is their idea of how to play outside!

Join toy experts Jim Silver and Chris Byrne this Friday night on Twitter as we SiteWarm Time to Play …. Outdoors! and take a look at some of the best products available and best tips for outside play. The event is from 9 to 10 p.m. eastern time and the hashtag is #outdoorplay

Topics for the night will include:

  • What are the best new outdoor toys?
  • What great new products are available for the littlest sports enthusiasts?
  • Are educational toys available for the warm weather months?
  • What are the newest water toys and playsets on the market?
  • How can I plan a fantastic “staycation” with my kids?

Jim Silver, @JimSilver, editor-in-chief of TimetoPlayMag.com and Chris Byrne, @thetoyguy, content director at TimetoPlayMag.com will bring their many collective years of experience in the toy industry to help guide us into summer fun with our families! Jim thoroughly enjoyed tweeting with all of you during the last Time to Play event focused on Family Game Night, and Chris is looking forward to joining us this time around.
