When it comes to summertime water play, nothing beats the excitement and cooling relief of a splash and sprinkler pad. These versatile and engaging play areas combine the thrill of splashing and the joy of running through sprinklers.

Setting up a splash and sprinkler pad is hassle-free. Most pads can be easily connected to a garden hose, allowing for instant water flow. The pad itself is typically made from durable and puncture-resistant materials, ensuring long-lasting use. Cleaning and maintenance are also straightforward, with most pads requiring simple rinsing and occasional disinfecting.

7. Realistic Kitchen Sink Toy

Many kitchen sink toys come with realistic features that mimic a functioning sink. They have functioning faucets that reuse the water. These realistic elements enhance the play experience and allow the toddler to mimic real-life activities such as washing dishes, preparing food, or cleaning vegetables, and immerse themselves in the role of a little chef or home helper.

We got the above realistic kitchen sink toy in one of the Lovevery play kits. It’s one of my son’s favorite toys. I am linking a similar functioning sink below.

8. Sprinkler T Ball Set

A sprinkler pad is great for toddlers who enjoy more relaxed water play—it’s flat, easy to step in and out of, and usually has gentle sprays around the edge, making it perfect for younger kids to sit, splash, or tiptoe through.

But if you’re looking for just a sprinkler—especially one that encourages running and active play—this one is a great choice. It even comes with a T-ball feature that introduces kids to bat/racket and ball games in a fun, engaging way. This Fun Rocker Sprinkler launches and sprays water in all directions. Also, this unicorn one will be great for a unicorn-themed birthday.

9. Water Slide

A water slide combines the thrill of sliding with the refreshing fun of water play, making it the perfect summer activity! It’s a wonderful idea for birthday parties or any event you host that involves kids, offering hours of entertainment. Easy to set up in the backyard, a water slide instantly turns any day into a splashy adventure they won’t forget.

10. Toys for Outdoor Tubs or Pools

Toys like boats or floating figures can be tossed into any tub or pool and are perfect for both sensory and imaginative play in the water. The Skillmatics Seek & Splash set is especially great for kiddie pools, tubs, or larger pools. It encourages toddlers to get comfortable with water by encouraging them to scoop and dive for floating pieces, offering a fun and engaging way to build water confidence and give them a head start on swimming skills. The fishing net also offers endless fun at beaches and also Kiddie pool. I also add floating alphabet letters, and my toddler loves catching them—it’s a fun way to play alphabet recognition.
