Toys need to be durable and interesting to be a hit with kids and parents alike. So many toys are interesting for one day of play and get discarded after the “new” wears off. These top 5 pool toys for kids will bring hours of long-lasting enjoyment and play for your kids and even you too.
Swimming Toys – The Rainbow Reef Turtle with it’s realistic appearance and swimming action is a hit with small children and adults alike. The turtle is $21.95 with free shipping from www.poolrafts.com. Rainbow reef offers a whole selection of choices for their swimming toys including battle sharks, sea horses, tropical fish, and more. These toys run on 2 “AA” batteries which are not included. Since these toys move around themselves, they keep children interested much longer than pool toys that just float. The Rainbow Reef Turtle is like having a pet turtle in your pool without the upkeep. The Rainbow Reef Turtle is available in green and brown.
Ride-on Toys –The Sea Turtle Ride-On is a favorite because it accommodates both small and large children well. This ride on has a lot of flat surface area with two sets of handles so that small children are able to stay on and float easily. Ride-on toys are fun because kids can also jump onto them from the pool deck. The Sea Turtle Ride-On is very reasonably priced at $21.95 for it’s size with free shipping from www.poolrafts.com. This float also works well in lakes, oceans, and down gentle spring runs because it has a nice wide flat area for comfortable seating. Ride-ons are available at Pool Rafts in many other designs including alligators, elephants, whales, geckos, lobsters, helicopters, school buses, and much much more. Kid’s love ride-ons. The sea turtle design and shape is so versatile making it my favorite, since it can accommodate several small kids or be a nice float for an adult too. I have owned a Shamu and an alligator too; however, neither could double as a float to sit or relax on like the Sea Turtle Ride-on can.
Pool Games – Skip and Score Soccer from Swimways is a pool soccer game that comes with 2 inflatable goals and a soft molded skip disk that can skip up to 75 feet. This game provides hours of fun for two or more kids, even accommodating a group for a pool party with ease. This set retails for $24.99 at Par Pool and Spa online. This pool game works well for small children through adults, definitely a durable favorite to provide years of family fun in the pool.
Newest Toy – Sub Skate Pool Skateboard is the first underwater skate board bringing skate boarding to a whole new level. www.Toysplash.com has the Sub Skate available for $15.99. They can be found at many retailers for $19.99 and they come in orange, green, or blue. There is a video demo available online for the Sub Skate at Toysplash too. Turn your pool into a watery skate park. This toy really get’s kids moving in the water, great toy to tire them out. Hours of fun as they try to master great tricks. Be prepared for the endless chorus of “Mom, Dad, Watch THIS!”
Colors, Lights, and Fountain All in One – Underwater Pool Light Show & Fountain will thrill kids and adults alike for hours and years to come. This item tops the disco ball because it is a light show too, both the device and the water fountain lighting up. It runs on 4 D batteries and no wiring is needed to hook it up. Just pop the batteries in and place it in your pool to start the light show and fountain. It comes with a remote control, 10 different light show settings, and no assembly required either. Kids love the colors and splashing in the fountain. When the kids are asleep, it is a great way to turn your pool into a romantic spa retreat equipped with a colorful fountain. These retail for $59.99 or two for $99.99; however, considering how much it would cost to add a lighted fountain to a pool or the inconvenient hook-ups to wiring or hoses that other fountains require, the Underwater Pool Light Show & Fountain is clearly the best option out there. This one offers years of fun for everyone, both kids and parents will love it.
Once you get all these new toys, you won’t need to take a vacation because you will have your own recreation center and tropical resort in your own backyard.
