Traffic cones. Kids will line them up, wear them as hats, toss rings over them, run around them, jump over them, haul them, stack them, pour water through them, use them to hold sticks upright, yell through them, look through them, yell through them LOUDER, and more. Why not add one or two or half a dozen to your play space?
Avoid the cheapest cheapy cheap ones. They tend to be made from plastic that’ll crack if kids look at them with too much energy. Better to spend a bit more and get cones that’ll stand up to the way’s kids want to use them. You don’t want to spend half your day playing traffic cone cop.
