Can’t beat the $8 but great quality you get. If you have a pool you know how many towels you go thru in a day so you definitely need enough. The designs are super cute too.

If your kids love bubbles Walmart is the place to go $10 for a 4L jug of bubbles. Such a great deal in our home we go thru a lot of bubbles so definitely worth it.

We just bought this pool and the size is perfect as we are in a town house with shared green space meaning we’ll bring it in every night. We can fit a kiddy slide in it and they have hours of entertainment out of it.

This is the pool my kids started with. We did upgrade but we kept this one for my youngest one to play in later this year/ next year. Super easy to keep cool and tip up at the end of the night living in townhouses with shared green space.

These balls are so much fun, my two older kids love these balls so much they’re so bouncy and you can kick ‘em, bounce them and throw them back and fourth. Hours of entertainment just in balls.

These are so fun my son got one for his birthday and they love it for the bath and the pool. It floats so it’s perfect if they can’t quite get underwater yet.

Definitely worth the price for how many driving toys you get. The pool I have isn’t very big and we don’t even fill it that full so we just use them to play with and I did get them goggles to start trying to dive.

My daughter is my crafter so when it’s rainy that’s what I get her to do. So I bought her, her own paint brushes to get creative with.

Best decision to buy these I bought this for my son for his birthday. All you do is fill the cap with water screw it on and let them do the rest. Best part let it dry and they can reuse it.

Two words; life saver! I bought two for each of my older kids for when they paint saves a lot of mess. Just wipe off the smock and you’re good to go.

I always keep little kits like this around (mostly for my daughter) for rainy days specially Micheal’s always has great deals on. This was a lot of fun my daughter loved creating her own bottles full of sand to decorate her room with.

Great little kits to have around. My daughter loves painting I display them around my house and I think it’s just so cute to have pieces of them around.
