5 Totally Awesome Outdoor Summer Toys That Your Kids Gotta Have! by Christine Jones

Summer is almost here! I can't wait for BBQs, pool parties and a glass or two of wine! To get ready for summer, I've been scouting for the season's coolest summer toys and I've found a bunch that I'm thrilled to share with you. From games to pool floats and cool water balloons, let the games begin!

• Wet Head: This is guaranteed to cool the kids off on a hot summer day. To play, you fill this silly cap with water and strap it on your head. Spin the spinner and let a player pull one of the eight pins. If you don't get soaked ... score! But seriously, this is a super fun game for the whole family as long as you don't mind getting a wet head.
• Pool Noodle Connectors: As if pool noodles weren't cool enough, now you can build a floating fort or make your own hoop! They'll never get out of the pool.
• Emoji Pool Float: My kids can't get enough of the poop emoji. I can't wait to see their faces when I bring this gem out. If you don't want to look at this all summer, I've found a few other cool ones we've linked below.
• Wearable Inflatable Bumper Balls: Your kids might actually put down their video games and head outside to try these bumper balls.
• Bunch O Balloons: My kids love water balloons, but filling them up, not so much. This just took all the work out of it. Set a timer on your phone for 5 minutes and make cleanup a race!
