☀️ Pool & Water Day Extras
Our favorite ways to cool off and keep the kids entertained on hot days! 💦 Water tables, balloons, and backyard water toys that make summer days way more fun.
Such an easy summer win for little ones! It's simple to set up and gives them something to pour, splash and play with forever. Perfect for those days when you just need the kids happily occupied outside. 😂
Kids' Water Tables, Sandboxes & Sensory Play - Step2
Get your buckets or pools ready to hold all these ballons! This is a must have back ups of on hand. This is there number one favorite activity!
ZURU Bunch O Balloons, 420 Water Balloons
This was the first thing my kids wanted for our trampoline! 😂 Hook it up to the hose and suddenly the trampoline becomes a whole new summer activity. Definitely one for hot days when they're already bored with everything else.
Jasonwell Kids Outdoor Trampoline Sprinkler
Easy to slip on before heading outside, to the pool or anywhere they'll be around water. I love water shoes for protecting little feet from hot concrete and rough surfaces without having to fight with regular shoes
Kids Water Shoes - Speedo USA
without having to fight with regular shoes.
Max Liquidator Water Blasters Needless to say, these turn into complete chaos at our house. 😂 They're water blasters for the kids…and apparently window and outdoor-toy cleaners when Mom adds a little soap....
Max Liquidator 6-Pack Water Blaster Set
💦 Sprinklers, Slides & Splash Pads
Trampoline sprinkler, slip & slide, splash pad, cactus sprinkler, water balloons, water blasters, etc.
Another great splash-pad option for little ones! Easy backyard water fun without having to fill up an entire kiddie pool. Great for toddlers who just want to run, splash and get soaked. 😂
Growsland Splash Pad for Toddlers, Outdoor Sprinkler
Perfect for the littlest ones who want to join in on water day! 💦 Plenty to splash and play with without needing a huge pool. A fun backyard option when they're still too little for the big-kid stuff.
Intex 96x78x28 Inflatable Jungle Play Center
One of those simple summer toys that kids will use over and over. The bodyboards make it even more fun—and 22.5 feet gives them plenty of room to actually SLIDE. 🛝💦
JOYIN 22.5ft Water Slide with 2 Bodyboards
Perfect when you don't have room for a giant pool or splash pad. 🌵💦 Hook it to the hose and you've got an easy backyard activity that doesn't take over the whole yard.
Inflatable Cactus Sprinkler for Kids Outdoor
Perfect for the littlest ones who want to join in on water day! 💦 Plenty to splash and play with without needing a huge pool. A fun backyard option when they're still too little for the big-kid stuff.
Step 2 Pump & Splash Discovery Pond Table
🏊 Backyard Pools
18' Intex, 12' Bestway, large inflatable pool, kiddie pool, etc.
A nice middle ground when you want a real backyard pool without going huge. Set it up and you've basically created your kids' favorite place to spend the summer.
Bestway Steel Pro MAX 12' x 30" Round Pool Set
Great if you want something bigger than a kiddie pool without the maintenance of a full-size above-ground pool. There's enough room for the kids—and Mom and Dad can actually get in too. 😂
Large Inflatable Pool 10ft x 6ft for Kids & Adults
This is the kind of pool I'd pick once the kids are a little older and you want something the whole family can actually enjoy. Big enough for serious summer use without committing to an in-ground pool.
INTEX 26743EP Prism Frame Pool Set 18ft x 48in
👶 Water Fun for Littles
Water table, Jungle Play Center, baby float, canopy kiddie pool.
Such a good option for the littlest family member. ❤️ The canopy gives them shade, and I like this style because baby has their own supported spot instead of feeling like they're going to slip straight through the float.
2026 Kiddie Pool with Canopy, Foldable Toddler Pool 53''×40''×33''
This would've been my FAVORITE when my kids were little. The shade canopy is the part I love—you can give them water time without having them sitting directly in the sun the entire afternoon.
EZIGO Baby Pool Float with Canopy UPF50+
