Water Play at Home

Where does everyone want to party during the summer? At a Beach Club of course! This is a fun theme that you can recreate at home. All you really need is a small pool for the kids to splash around in and a few key toys to pique their interest. It’s a great way to keep cool during the summer and an opportunity for parents to showcase their BBQ skills. While supervising, parents can also work on their tans or sip on pina coladas or sweet teas in the shade.  It’s a win-win all around!

Here are a few easy tips to create your own personal “Beach Club”:

  1. Purchase an electric air pump - it will be worth it. It speeds up the process and saves your energy for playing in the water.

  2. Set up in advance. Decide when you will be having your water play day because it will take awhile to fill up the pools and slides (if applicable). You might even want to fill them up early so the water can warm up with the sun before the kids enter.

  3. You don’t need to purchase 20 different water options. If you have friends with little ones, consider trading items with them so you have variety. The kids will like the different options too.

Hope your rascals enjoy their first beach club.
