I have brought these pool toys on my last two trips and they have been a hit! These mini octopus’s come in a 6 pack, and fill with water and squirt out. They float so they are perfect for the younger kids who can’t dive yet, however, all three of my kids (6, 4 and almost 2) love playing with them!

This blaster water backpack is so fun and easy for kids to use! It comes in Spiderman, Paw Patrol, Cocomelon and Princess theme and makes a great gift for outdoor water fun.

I did a community poll on best inflatable water slides and this was one of the top 2 most recommended options!
Tips for cleaning/storing this slide:
Always let it dry completely out before repacking it, flip it mid dry to make sure the bottoms dries out too
When 100% dry, use leaf blower to remove grass/dirt/sand
Repack and store in a cool/dry space
Use dish soap if there are any spots that need cleaning

Say goodbye to traditional water balloons that leave annoying little pieces all over your yard. These reusable water balloons are a blast for kids ages 2 and up. They can fill them up themselves easily and love popping and refilling them. Only buy the brand Soppycid, there are other knock offs sold that don’t have protection over the little magnets and can be dangerous for little kids.

An upgraded version of SplashEZ’s famous splash pad for kids that is a bit larger and the material is tougher to withstand even a dog playing on it!

If I could wear one workout top for the rest of my life it would be this Vuori one. I love the high neck, the cut is not too cropped or boxy, and I like how it lays perfectly and isn’t fitted. It’s butter soft fabric doesn’t wrinkle and it comes in regular and tall. I personally love the tall because it is the perfect length where it doesn’t show my stomach when I am working out.
If you are celebrating one of your child's first Easters, I love to stuff their Easter basket with a mix of practical items they will need for spring and summer, along with some fun sensory toys that will get good use as they continue to develop and explore the world around them!
