The Best Water Toys for Kids This Summer

Amazon: “The toy is very durable, does not leak, and is of cute design. I really like the detail all around, and the color choices. All you have to do is rinse the mat once in a while with slightly chlorinated water, and you can use it for a long time. My baby loves playing on this mat, & banging on the fish.”

The Beast Reviews: “MAGIFIRE is a stylish sea-themed mat that benefits kids of all ages. The eco-friendly PVC used to make it is not only durable but also safe for kids. It is resistant to leaks and scratches too.”

Amazon: “I purchased these to replace my son's moldy bath toys. These are great! They float very well, have NO holes for mold/mildew build up, are cute, a good price, and dry quickly”

Amazon: “I got these for my 5 month old's bathtime, and they're just as great outside of the bath! Baby likes picking these up and watching them bob up and down in the water, and these dry easily since they have no cracks or crevices. Outside of the bath, she likes playing with these during tummy time. I also sit her in my lap and put these balls in a large tupperware tub in front of us. She loves taking them out of the tub, putting them back in, and slapping them to make them rattle around in the tub. I like that these are on the bigger side- baby can still pick them up with two hands, and they're not a choking hazard.”

Amazon: “Between two kids and 6 years of bath toys.. this is by far the best bath toy we have ever had… Even with two kids pulling at it all the time. I love that the spout can turn left/right/straight and also if you cover the stream it turns out of the top sort of like a sprinkler! The stream has a great water flow and it's easy to turn on and off.”

Burrito Buzz: “The Flow ‘N’ Fill Spout is so unique. The spout actually pulls up bath water and creates a fountain. The fountain can be pulled from side-to-side and there are three different cups that the water can flow into. Each cup has a different effect: one has a turning wheel, one has holes in the bottom to create a kind of sprinkler, and the other has an interior cup that pops up when it’s filled with water. The cups are easily interchangeable and surprisingly sturdy.”

Parenting.com: “This water-fun play mat is part sprinkler and part splash pool. It’s the perfect size for toddlers and kids. Pet-friendly parents have found that their dogs like it just as much as their children, too.”

theZ8: “This sprinkle and splash water mat offers convenient playing for kids of different ages. It provides easy learning and also enhances strength for your kid. It delivers strength for their hands, neck, and back. Something else, the product provides enough water for your toddler, thus ensuring that they enjoy each moment.”

Amazon: “My kids love unicorns. Especially my daughter. It has been extremely hot these days, and children love this product very much, which brings them cool. No complaints. It filled it perfectly.The younger kids wanted to sit on it.”

Amazon: “PERFECT. This product is easy to use and so fun to watch our almost two year old run around in!My 5 year old daughter play with her little 2 year old baby sister together! It was beautiful! And the colorful space design looked amazing on my backyard lawn. Highly recommend.”

Amazon: “Absolutely love this! I put the table in the bathtub and it's been a big hit! Life saver for little ones with energy during rainy weather! He saw me put the table in the tub and every night he jumps in to play. My husband even sat on the side and played with him.”

Amazon: “This water table has the most activities and parts of ALL the water tables we looked at. It does "rain" from the top, pours down into spouts and moving parts, includes a toy frog flipper, a water wheel, cups and buckets for pouring... I don't think there is a table my child would enjoy more. I even enjoy playing with the chain reaction and flinging the included toys.”

Amazon: “I got these for my kids to play with in the pool and they most certainly didn't disappoint. The maximum range on these (around 30' with a little elbow grease put into it) surpasses any super-soaker that I've ever tried, and they're extremely easy to use. Granted they have no water reservoir, so you have to use them in the pool, lake, ocean, etc. for them to be effective, but aside from that they are a fantastic water toy.”

Amazon: “I ordered for my son's outside, summer birthday party. There were a bunch of kids, varied ages and ability, but they all had a blast with these.”

Parenting.com: “If you’re looking for a fun backyard water toy, this take on the classic slip-and-slide is just right. Connect it to a hose, and the sprinklers keep the sleek slide perfectly slick for super speed. Oversized bumpers at the end collect the water to ensure a major splash every time.”

Amazon: “Worth the extra pennies to get a slide that is extra long - especially for growing kids and teens. Tough and sturdy material that held up to a tirade of tween and teen use - much better quality than other slip and slides that move, tear or blow in a gust of wind. Loads of fun was had in our garden.”

Amazon: “This is a must-have for anyone who has a trampoline. I got this for the kids to play with throughout the summer and am so glad I did. It has become the hit of the neighborhood and keeps the kids happy for hours.”

Amazon: “I was worried that this sprinkler wouldn’t be quite long enough to go around our 15’ trampoline but it is a perfect fit. Installation was super easy with the zip ties provided. I like that the zip ties are the type which can be removed so that we can either adjust it, or remove it for winter storage. My kids had a blast jumping on the wet trampoline.”
