"Summer means it's time to take the toy room outside and soak up that vitamin D," Mandy and Mel, also known on Instagram as the Toy Testing Sisters, shared with "Good Morning America."

"Our kids love spending time outside and we always want to find the most unique toys to entertain and make memories together," they added.

As most parents know, toys can be an expensive purchase. Mandy and Mel recommend selecting items that grow with your kids, such as play couches, silks, blocks and movement toys.

Another helpful tip? "Shop for toys that even adults can enjoy outdoors," they said.
