Summertime Toys.

The Summertime Toys are an American Girl of Today accessory released in 1998 and retired in 2001. Retail cost was $12.

Flying Disc

Yellow flying disc. Decorated with magenta, purple, and orange swirl spokes. Can be tossed.

The flying disc is called a "Sky Skimmer" in catalogs; this is likely because Frisbee is a copyrighted term.

Bubbles

Blue bottle of bubbles. Label has Tiny bubbles and multicolored circles as bubbles on yellow oval background with pink and green sides. Side specifies that bubbles are non-toxic. White lid has AGoT Girl logo and pink bubble wand attached inside. Originally filled with bubble solution.

Ribbon Baton

Multicolored ribbon baton. Pink baton with purple caps; silver swivel attached to one cap. Pastel cloth rainbow attached to swivel.

Jump Rope

Toy jump rope. Blue plastic handles. Cord is yellow on ends and transitions to orange, magenta, purple at center, then colors reversed to other end.

Paddle Ball

Toy paddle ball. Purple plastic paddle. Printed side has Boing-O Ball in swirled yellow letters around red swoosh with yellow, green, and orange stars; handle has green and blue stripes with yellow AGoT logo on end. Obverse is unprinted and has attached red elastic at center attached to red rubber ball.

The item is called a Boing-o-Ball in catalogs, but the phrase paddle ball is not copyrighted.

Trivia

  • The elastic cord on the paddle ball can deteriorate with age.
  • The set was not paired with, but was often displayed with, the Play Outfit in catalogs.
  • The same ribbon style later came with the Gymnastics Outfit I.
