chrfath Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 We just picked up the double slip n slide and my 12yo DS loves it, he has been playing soccer on it. ;) The only other cool off play would be a sprinkler for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Mom Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Other options include: water guns or spray bottles, water balloons, and sprinklers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 We bought a HUGE tarp to use as a slip and slide. We just put the sprinkler next to it and the kids run and slide!! Works really well and it hasn't ripped (this will be our 5th year on it!). I would love one of those inflatable slides! A neighbor had one and it held up really well!

happi duck Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 We like water balls. They are foam balls covered with fabric. They come in different sizes and are inexpensive. We fill a bucket for getting them wet and then you can play catch or fling them at each other, like how you might play with water balloons. I like having something that doesn't require the water to stay running the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 My kids take the hose to the corner of the yard and make a huge mud puddle and dig and dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alte Veste Academy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Do all the super soakers require being pumped prior? Is there a variety better for first time water gun users? There are Super Soakers available that work just like a squirt bottle with no pumping. You can attach any kind of water bottle to them and squirt away. They squirt far too! I fill up a bucket so my kids don't waste water with the hose and they can unscrew the bottle, fill it up, screw it back on and be off playing again.

Mom-ninja. Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Their favorite water activity? Filling up the big hole they dug with water and standing/sitting in it. Hours of entertainment right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougarmom4 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 This. Big hit! :001_smile: I saw this a few weeks ago and thought it looked like a lot of fun! I'm hoping to make it with the kids in a few weeks. I just thought I'd add water balloon fights, water kickball (baby pools w/water as bases, someone squirting with hose while you run, using a beach ball), water balloon volleyball (two people using towels catch a water balloon and toss over net to another team), sponge relay, Duck, Duck Goose with a pitcher of water (pour on person you say goose on).

IsabelC Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 We don't need any equipment for water fun here: all I do is give the kids permission to have the taps on, and off they go. I guess maybe it has novelty value because they're not allowed to do it very often, but they never seem to run out of ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
