This is similar to the one we have (ours is not sold anymore). But I love having a spot where kids can play in. A must have for summer days

These are similar to the ones we have. We use these all the time in the summer! Just make sure you don't throw these right at someone because they can hurt.

This is something simple that you can set up for kids to play in. Add a slide and kids will have a blast! I do have to say, just make sure you don't bend the sides too much otherwise they will tear.

Okay so this isn't necessarily for kids but this is totally on my wish list for this summer. This is perfect for moms (and dads) to get sun while watching their kids play outside! It can be the perfect splashpad for littles as well.

I was about to get this for my kids for Christmas but then decided not to because we don't have a large enough space in our house to run. However, I am now adding this here so we can use it outside!

We play 9 square every year at a family event. What I love about this game is that anyone can play! Really, we had kids from 5 years old to adults who are 65! So while I don’t personally have this game set, I would love to get it for our home.
