The giant hopscotch mat retails for $16, while a wooden climbing frame sells for $39, an adjustable basketball hoop is going for $59 and 4 balance beams also sold for $16.
Parents were extremely excited about the range and what it would mean for their children.
One social media user commented: “My son has Autism Spectrum Disorder and we have spent a fortune on therapy equipment over the years.
“Most of these items are just as good and for such a better price.”
Another said: Go Kmart! It’s so good to see that they have more things to encourage kids to be and playing inside and outside instead of being still and sitting around playing video games/iPads/watching TV.”
Another added: “They have some great things. Now if it’d just stop raining long enough to dry out the backyard to be able to play outside.”
One eager shopper revealed they had already gotten their hands on some of the outdoor equipment.
The social media user said: “Have a heap of the outdoor equipment already put away for Xmas.
“Found a lot on sale in June so grabbed some. Lucky have room in the shed.”
The buzz around the range is growing, with Kmart announcing it has plans to expand the range.
A Kmart spokeswoman told news.com.au: “Over recent years, our Kmart outdoor range has continued to grow in popularity and we are currently expanding these ranges.
“In particular, we have seen huge demand for our kids development, soft play and wooden development products and we have a number of new exciting products in these ranges coming soon both in stores and online.”
