Water Toys for the Summer

(400 Words)
When the summer comes it is all about the water. You want your child to enjoy getting wet and splashing all over. There are many great water based toys, which range from small and inexpensive items to huge play areas that can last year after year.
Kids love to spray others with water. For something small, get a water sprayer. If you do not want a water gun, then you can get one that has a character like a seahorse or another animal. Another really fun idea is to get one that looks like firefighter’s backpack and a hose. Because you can hold a lot of water in the backpack, this can spray for a while. One popular version is the Theo Klein Firefighter Water Back Pack. It sprays water as far as six feet away. It can hold 67 ounces of water.
One classic toy for children is a Slip ‘N Slide. These toys look like a long mat, and they spray water as children slip down them. They make many different versions of this. Some of them have two lanes so that two kids can race. Some of them have a little “pool” at the end. They also make some that are of a specific brand such as a Nascar version.
Of course a little one might like a little pool. They make everything from tiny wading pools for little toddlers to larger ones that have features like slides and hoses. Of course make sure to always properly supervise your children for every minute that they are in the pool.
They make a wide variety of splash toys. For instance you can get a hose that just sprays water at the kids. Also, you can get a kit that allows the children to make water balloons. They can have a water balloon fight.
If you want something large then you can get your child an entire water park. Companies like Little Tikes make large inflatable play areas that have slides, little pools and hoses that spray. These can cost in the hundreds of dollars, but can be something that lasts for years and provides hours of entertainment. They are wonderful for parties. Some of these also allow kids to race down on multiple slides.
