What to buy for summer fun

[Anonymous]

Let’s assume camps will be cancelled and community pools won’t open. What do we need for summer fun? We don’t have a large backyard but have some room for things to keep the kids busy. What should we get?

-sprinkler
-water balloons (spare yourself the headache - get the kind that you attach the piece to the hose and fill 100 balloons at once)
-cheap buckets (dollar tree), sponges, rags (they can 'wash' their toys, bikes, the fence, etc
-squirt toys (squirt guns aren't the only option if those aren't your thing)
-chalk
-small pool
-stomp rockets

Look on pinterest for fun backyard ideas for kids

Jump rope
Buckets
Sprinkler
Hula hoop
Balls
Pots and soil to grow some seeds of you don't have in grounds space

I'd start small and add if needed. I find the games are much more creative when kids have to improvise.

Bubbles
Water table (my 8 year old tends to tire of this quickly, but 3 & 5 love it for a long time)
Sand box
Water slide (Target seems to have a lot of these in stock online right now; was just looking at them)
Scooters for the neighborhood, if you have anywhere to safely do that
Same with balance bikes/bicycles

Really wishing I had a backyard pool.

I am really hoping we get through the first set of peaks to at least open community pools for part of the summer.

Fun sprinkler system is a must

We have an inflatable pool and put the fisher tike plastic slide in it as a water slide. My kids love it.
