top kids toys 2 4 years image

I have a 4 year old son too that gets so frustrated by the puppy ( and quite a large one at that) constantly jumping all the time as well. Sometimes I feel like all I do is yell at the poor thing - I'm sure there has to be a better way.

I have 2 older puppies and 2 toddlers. You can get the dog to behave around your children. My dogs NEVER jump on or pester my toddlers.
Your dog needs to know you're in charge and they need to be submissive. For this to work, you have to act and carry yourself in a way that says "I'm the pack leader". When your dog does something - anything you don't want him to do: Make eye contact, point to him, lean toward him, stand up if you have to and either say "no" or make a "tsh" sound using a low, steady, loud voice. They really understand this body language and will stop whatever it was. If it doesn't work do that, but also go over to him and tap him (don't hit, more like poke) on the top of his neck. If that still doesn't work grab him firmly, but without hurting him, by the back of the neck and push him onto the ground until he calms down.
He needs to know that jumping is never okay - not on you, your kids, strangers - anyone. Every time you see him jump react immediately. Until he learns not to jump don't leave him alone in the same room as your toddler. If he gets away with it, he will never learn.
Another way to stop a dog that jumps a lot is to put him on a leash and make him follow you around all day. If he jumps, yank on the leash. I like the first method I mentioned - this works every time for me. My dogs don't jump on the furniture, the kids, they won't take food from my kids (not even if they drop it), they don't take my kids toys, they don't lick my kids or anything. But the dogs are happy, they aren't scared of me or my kids, they let the girls pet them and they are playful. They even play fetch with my 2 year old.

What are some toys that kids of all ages can play with?
B
What are some toys that kids ages 6-12 can play with together? There is also a 1 1/2 year old. Preferably something that can be played with outside and at least 4 or 5 kids can play with at a time or take turns playing. Something the 1 1/2 year old would enjoy too if you can possibly think of anything to fit with that age. We are already buying a slipping slide and sand toys. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Something that isn't very expensive either. Thanks.
Answer
these are things my kids play with and they are a girl 6 and boy 3.
soccer ball
jr football or foam one might be better
Frisbee
a rubber ball for playing kick ball with bases. you can make ur own bases and the dollar tree did carry them
jump ropes
kid size rakes
plastic t ball
paint, lots of paint and boxes or posters are 2 for a dollar at $ tree
Spray paint a big huge box, let them i mean, and make a play house outta it.
How bout a tent? If not that, they could make a fort using kit chairs and blankets and sheets and stuff
if you have a table, uno and other games without tiny pieces might be good. My daughter loves uno!
horse shoes is fun too, they make them mobile kinds so you can bring them in when your done with them
kites are a $ at the $ tree too
who doesnt like bubbles or bubble blowers? You can get an awesome bubble blower at wal mart for not too much like 10 or 15 dollars and its GREAT LOADS OF FUN
potting soil and seeds is fun too
dont forget the boom box, gotta have tunes outside right?
I hope this helps it was just off the top of my head!
