Fun Water Play Ideas

Filed Under: Summer, CELEBRATE Tagged With: summer fun, water play

Who doesn’t love some water play on a hot summer day?  Of course, swimming is always fun but sometimes, you just don’t have access to a pool. 

Or, you might have a child like mine – before the age of about 5, she was kind of iffy about being in water – let me tell you, that made bath-time quite the chore!

Fun Water Play Ideas for Summer

So, I was always looking for other water activities for her so that a) she could cool off in the summer heat and b) to help slowly acclimate her to being more comfortable with water.  Here’s a roundup of 10+ great water play ideas:

wish I had thought of this when my daughter was little!  Looks like such fun!

There are lots of great DIY boat ideas out there but I really love these mini sail boats from Made to be a Momma. 

Float them in your bathtub, kiddie pool, or even a puddle!

What a great way to have fun this summer – especially since we’ll be hanging out at home more!

DIY-Kiddie-Car-Wash--555x1024

I just adore these DIY Kiddie Car Washes like this one from Mom Endeavors! 

Ride through on a bike, trike, or toy vehicle or even just run through.

Make these sponge balls from It’s Overflowing and play some water toss games!

A Slip n Slide is always fun!

How about this idea for making a slip n slide hockey rink?
