Water Toys
This is an absolute favorite for my 3 year old daughter! What kid doesn’t love splashing around in the water? Plus, I love that this sits right on the ground so it’s easy for my 14 month old to join in on the fun. Until the bigger water tables, this ...
Bluey Bushland Adventures
My daughter loved these when we went to the beach! They’re soft and squishy. The head fills with water and sprays out when you squeeze it. They also float pretty well for kids who can’t dive yet.
ArtCreativity Octopus Water Balls
I swear you can never have too many boats at the pool or beach. It’s always a kid favorite! My son loved these when we went to the beach. They’re light enough that you don’t need a ton of water for them to float.
ArtCreativity Toy Boats
A friend of ours had these at a birthday party recently and my daughter was obsessed! They are small enough and easy to use for toddlers. Plus, when your child inevitably hits you with it, it doesn’t hurt 😂
MAX LIQUIDATOR® 6-Pack Water Blaster Set
I just got this for my daughter and she loves it! We already owned the little mermaids. The outside edge fills with water and sprays into the fun little castle area. Set up and clean up are super easy!
Banzai Mermaid Lagoon Splash Park Set with 3 Mermaid Dolls Age 3+
We’ve had this 2 summers now and it’s help up really well! I fill all of the sinks with water and my kids will play on the porch for hours. I keeps all the little toys and accessories in a clear plastic storage box when they aren’t using them to keep...
Step2 All Around Playtime Patio with Canopy
Sunscreen- A Must!!!!
I’ve loved blue lizard for years! This is my go to face stick because it’s SPF 50 and works great for people who have sensitive skin or eczema. Invest in good sunscreen!
BLUE LIZARD Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Stick
I don’t mess with sunscreen under SPF 50. I love this neutrogena because it goes on easy, smells nice, and isn’t super sticky. Buy it on Amazon for the best price!
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF 70
This brush on powder is great for places that are harder to get sunscreen on like the scalp or under eyes. Plus, my kids fight me less because it tickles.
Roe Wellness Kids SPF 50 Brush-On Powder
For those with babies and kiddos with super sensitive skin, this blue lizard is great! It’s not full of crap like other sunscreens. It does leave a little more of a white film behind, but at least you know their skin is protected!
Blue Lizard Baby Mineral Sunscreen
Toys that Go🚗
My daughter got this for Christmas 2 years ago and is still obsessed! She will get out and ride around in the driveway. Plus the little trunk is so fun. She fills it with chalk or rocks when she’s playing. The whole thing washes super easy with a hos...
Little Tikes Princess Cozy Truck
I did not think my kids would fight over this toy like they do. We use to to walk up our long driveway to check the mail. It has 3 cupholders which is super nice for all the juice cups!
Step2 Whisper Ride Cruiser - Blue: Push Riding Toy for Ages 1.5-4, 50 lb Capacity
This item is a little pricier but it’s so dang durable! We needed a car that we could control with a remote and handle the terrain around our house. This seats 2 kids and has 3 point harnesses for both seats.
24V Can-Am Maverick X3 Kids Ride-On Buggy - Pink
We saw a sweet little boy riding this at the park one day and I knew my daughter would love it. It takes a little bit of coordination but she learned super quick! I like the it has double wheels in the back for extra balance.
Razor Jr. Lil’ Kick 3-Wheel Scooter Ages 3+
We know so many families that own this balance bike! The seat drops lower for shorter kids and it’s super light weight. This has been a great transition bike from the smaller bike on the this list.
KRIDDO Toddler Balance Bike for 2-5 Years, Pink
Another fan favorite over here! My daughter loved this bike and my son is now learning to use it. It’s super lightweight and the 4 wheels help keep the child balanced.
