    Summer is officially here, which at my house means two things: popsicles for breakfast are somehow totally fine, and the local pool is basically our new living room. If you’ve ever tried getting your kids (or your nieces/nephews/grandkids/friend’s sugar-hyped offspring) away from screens and into the sunshine, you’ll know the right pool or beach toys can turn a simple day at the water into the stuff of core childhood memories!

    After one too many squabbles over the “good” inflatable and realizing that pool noodles will never truly die (they just multiply), I set out to find the coolest pool and beach toys—ones that are gift-worthy, survive rough play, and can keep the “I’m bored!” at bay for at least…let’s be honest, a full hour would be a win.

    • SwimWays Toypedo Original Pool Toy — Think underwater darts meets superhero training. These little torpedo-shaped toys zoom through the water with the flick of a wrist—a.k.a. they turn average siblings into future submariners. Watch the kids have underwater launching contests or try to “fetch” them in one breath. Warning: Adults have been known to join in, claiming they’re “supervising water safety.” 😂
    • GoFloats Giant Unicorn Pool Float — If your kid loves unicorns (or you do), this is the jaw-dropper present. It’s huge, sturdy, and will instantly make your child the most popular mer-kid at the pool or beach. Double win if you persuade your teen they’re ironically cool enough to post a pic with it. Rainbow mane included, glitter attitude implied! 🦄
    • Waboba Pro Water Bouncing Ball — It skips across water like magic! We’ve had so much fun with these at both the pool and lake—great for games of catch, races, or who-can-skip-it-farthest showdowns. Plus, they’re small enough to stash in a day bag (so you don’t have to look like the moving van every time you go to the pool).

    Honestly, these picks have saved me on more than a few “how are we going to survive this heat with the kids at home all day?” afternoons. They also make awesome birthday gifts, summer party surprises, or even “just because” presents. Here’s to making a splash, big laughs, and the best soggy, sun-soaked memories for our kiddos!

    I totally feel the splashtastic vibes! 🌊 Here are some more dazzling ideas to crank up the fun and sprinkle a little extra magic on your summer escapades:

    • Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Turtle Mould & Sift Sand Toy — Want to bring out the inner sand artist in every kid (and more than a few adults)? These turtle-shaped tools will have everyone crafting masterpieces in the sand, and the kiddos will be busy channeling their inner Michelangelo. Plus, less sand in swim trunks is always a win! 🐢
    • Youth & Adult Swim Fins by CAPAS — Let’s make your swimming adventures even more fin-tastic! Strap these babies on and transform any swimming session into an epic underwater race. Imagine yourself as a mermaid or a speedy dolphin, leaving a trail of bubbles behind you. Just try not to break into the SpongeBob theme song—the temptation is real. 🐬🏊‍♀️
    • Intex Full Face Snorkel Mask — If your little (or not-so-little) explorer dreams of swimming with the fishes, this full face snorkel mask is an absolute game-changer. They’ll get to marvel at underwater sights with a crystal-clear view, and with a built-in snorkel, there’s no chance of a “saltwater gargling fiasco.” Suitable for adults, too, in case you feel the call of the deep blue yonder! 🌊🤿

    With these toys, you’ll not only keep the “I’m bored!” brigade at bay, but you might actually find yourself diving headfirst into the fun. Let’s be real—who doesn’t love a good splash battle or an epic underwater race? Time to make this summer unforgettable with maximum splashitude! 🍉☀️🏖️

    I can already smell the sunscreen and hear the joyous shouts—summer is here, folks! 🌞 Let’s add a couple more delightful gadgets to your sun-soaked adventures:

    • Water Sports Stream Machine Water Launcher — Calling all future firefighter recruits and water war masterminds! This beast of a water launcher can shoot water up to 70 feet. Seriously, you’ll feel like a superhero every time you launch one of these streams across the pool or beach. Just watch out for impromptu water-based ambushes from those cheeky kiddos! 💦
    • LED Light-Up Beach Ball — Want to keep the fun going even after the sun sets? These LED balls light up in vibrant colors, making evening beach volleyball games or just pass-and-play sessions a whole new level of awesome. Plus, they’re perfect for making your Instagram stories the envy of all your friends. 🎇⚽
    • Floating Bluetooth Speaker — Let’s bring some tunes to your pool party! These portable speakers float, are waterproof, and connect via Bluetooth—revolutionary for all pool playlists. Imagine chilling on your unicorn float while jamming to ’80s hits or kid-friendly tunes. Just remember, no Backstreet Boys near the deep end… the nostalgia might be too much! 🎶🔊

    Whether you’re engaging in epic water battles or dancing beneath the glow of colorful beach balls, these toys will guarantee smiles that outshine the sun. Here’s to a summer filled with wild cannonballs and unforgettable splashes! 🏖️🍦😎

    I am absolutely loving this thread and all these awesome splash-tastic suggestions! Let’s add a few more must-haves to our poolside arsenal and make this summer the most legendary one yet:

    • NERF Super Soaker Soakzooka — For when it’s time to settle the score in those epic poolside water battles. This beast holds a serious amount of water, so you get more soaking and less filling. Let’s be real, it’s basically a water fight jetpack, and who wouldn’t want to channel their inner action hero with one of these? 💧💦
    • Banzai Sprinkle & Splash Play Mat — If you’re looking to beat the heat without diving headfirst into a pool, this splash pad is perfection. It’s perfect for little ones who want to play in the water without diving in, or for those days when the pool is just TOO crowded. It’s also a sneaky way to keep cool while sipping on your iced coffee and pretending to “supervise.” 🌞💦
    • JOYIN Shark Attack Diving Pool Game Set — For the thrill-seekers and those ready to face the depths, this diving game is a blast! Race to retrieve the shark toys submerged below, and practice your best underwater acrobatics while you’re at it. Just make sure no one’s watching when the adults sneak in their turn… because who could resist a little shark attack action? 🦈🏊‍♂️

    With these fantastic additions, you’re sure to take your poolside fun to new depths—or heights, depending on your superhero landing style! Here’s to those unforgettable sun-soaked days of laughter, cannonballs, and just a touch of water-induced chaos! 🍦🏄‍♂️🌊

    • Hayward AquaBug Above-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner — Alright, hear me out on this one. At first glance, it might seem more like a tool than a toy, but watching this little fella scuttle around the pool can be strangely relaxing. It’s like having your own pool Roomba; plus, it keeps the pool tidy while you focus on having fun! Think of it as your silent party clean-up crew. Trust me, once you see it in action, you’ll be mesmerized by its underwater cleaning dance. 😃🐞
    • BigMouth Inc. Inflatable Dinosaur Sprinkler — Dial up the prehistoric fun in your backyard with this awesome dino sprinkler! It stands tall, spewing water from its snout and serving as our personal Jurassic oasis.

Cue the dino roars and escape theme music! 🦕💦

Try to stay upright as you and your friends stumble around like you’re on a merry-go-round! Just remember to tie up those loose bathing suits—things might get splashy! 🤸‍♂️💦
    • Wow World of Watersports Giant Inflatable Duck Slide — If you thought rubber ducks were just for the bathtub, think again! This giant inflatable duck comes with its own built-in slide. Perfect for hours of slip-sliding fun as you try to go as fast (or gracefully) as possible. Quack up your pool party and be the talk of the dock!
      🦆🎢
    • PoolCandy Inflatable Tanning Pool Lounger — Finally, a luxurious touch to add a bit of lounging-in-the-lap-of-luxury vibe to your sunny afternoons. Fill it with a little water to stay refreshed, and float around while you reach peak relaxation, perhaps while reading the juicy summer book gossip everyone’s been talking about. Call me lazy, but I call it a flotation station for those who know how to relax in style! 📚🛶

    Here’s to sunlit afternoons where even the most cautious cannonballers turn into water-bound adventurers. So grab your sunscreen, your shades, and let’s ride these waves of laughter all summer long! ☀️😄🏊‍♀️

    • Avengers Shield Dive Rings — Turn your pool into a superhero training ground! These dive rings are not only great for improving swimming skills, but they also offer a fun challenge as kids race to collect them, channeling their inner Captain America each time they dive. Just remember, the pool is a no-socks zone (because not even superheroes wear those in water). 🛡️
    • Unicorn Sprinkler by Banzai — For those lazy days when staying in the backyard seems like the best plan, why not add a little fairytale magic? This inflatable unicorn sprinkler will keep the kiddos cool while letting their imaginations gallop wild. Just beware of mini rainbows and uncontrollable giggles fluttering through the yard! 🌈🦄
    • Zuru Bunch O Balloons — Because no summer is complete without an epic water balloon battle! With these self-sealing, easy-fill balloon bundles, you’ll be stocked for hours of splat-tacular fun without the dreaded post-battle cleanup. I mean, let’s face it, anything that makes a pop as satisfying as bubble wrap is an adult-pleaser too. 💥🎈

    So let’s embrace the sun-soaked madness, treasure every splash, and create those larger-than-life summer memories! Let’s make this a season filled with laughter, fun, and just a splash of chaos! 🍉⛱️💦
