Summer is finally right around the corner! You may have a summer filled with vacations or you may be spending time close to home – either way, you can count on warmer days and more time spent outside. Take your outdoor water play to the next level this year, and consider investing in some of these fun toys: 

Favorite Family Games

I LOVE this idea! Take those family game night favorites, add some water, and you are sure to have hours of fun. In addition to the Twister Splash, Pie Face Splash and Hungry Hungry Hippos Splash shown above, I have also seen Operation Splash and Battleship Splash available too. Let your littlest ones splash around in the water, while your older ones play the games as they are intended, a great investment for the whole family!

Water Park Building or Play Sink

Let your little engineer get to work building a water park for the included boats & people. While this is a pricier option, it is one that is sure to entertain your little one on those hot summer days.

A play sink isn’t a typical “water play” toy, but it definitely is one that will keep your little one entertained for a while. Let them wash the dishes, their toys, pretend food, etc. Their imagination will go wild while the sink water keeps them cool. Play sinks don’t require a hose, so set up is quick and easy!

Splash Pad

Splash pads are fun, no matter the age! I like the versatility when it comes to splash pads, your little ones can splash around in the small “pool” area, or run through the sprinkler feature. These splash pads also come in a variety of sizes, so you can find one that works for your space.

Water Balloons

This idea should go without saying, as water balloons are such a fun staple for those hot summer days! The Bunch-O-Balloons are an easy way to get tens of water balloons ready at one time. Perfect for water balloon fights or races! If you’d rather go the reusable water balloon route, there are many options for that as well. The reusable water balloons are a one time investment, and can easily be used over and over again.

Sprinklers

There are many options out there for sprinklers, so depending on your child’s age or interests, you can definitely find one that works! If you have fond memories of running through the sprinkler as a child, consider finding a fun sprinkler so your child can create those same memories too!

Inflatable Sprinklers

Inflatable sprinklers add a little more excitement to your water play days! Again, there are a variety of options available, and come in all different sizes, so find one that works for your family!

The dog days of summer are quickly approaching, which means more of your time will be spent outside with your little ones. Incorporate water play days often to both keep cool and create fun memories!
