Reusable Water Balloons

Our family just played with these, and we were cracking up laughing!

reusable water balloons

Reusable water balloons – genius! They are easy to fill in 1-2 seconds. Even our three-year-old could do it, so get ready to run!

These are so lightweight, take up little space, and the mesh bag makes them easy to pack for your summer outing or vacay. And no need to worry about unsafe broken balloon pieces afterwards – much safer and easier clean up.

We had a blast. Our kids didn’t want to stop playing. They LOVED nailin’ mama and dada with these. I’m still laughing.

We can’t wait to take these to the pool, too!

Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

Another favorite in our household, or should I say outside of our household. Melissa and Doug’s version with the bag for collected items is too cute:

These ones from National Georgraphic also look small and easy for travel. Educational is always a nice plus.

Twister Splash

Why stop the fun at classic Twister when you could be getting wet while contorting your body into moves you didn’t know you had? And you thought the dry mat was difficult? Ha.

Diving Gems

Encourage underwater comfort and safety (with close supervision and assistance as needed, of course) with these fun gems. Last summer, our son loved diving for fun, little objects once he became more comfortable with it. Now he does it better than I can!

Bubble Wands

Is there an age where bubbles stop being fun? I don’t think so. Take these tubes on your next outdoor trip and keep the little ones entertained. Just when I think our kids have outgrown them….nope! They are asking for more.
