We've waited a long time for this, but now the time has finally come: Summer is just around the corner. As soon as the local temperatures crack the 20 degree mark, the streets fill with life again. And the gardening season is already in full swing. For children who have not been able to play outside for a long time, the best time of the year begins. So that they can enjoy their newly won freedom even more (and cool off a little on warm or hot days), water toys are currently more in demand than ever. We present ten different models.
With a diameter of 172 centimeters, this sprinkler and spray mat made of PVC offers enough space for several children. To ensure that the integrated holes throw the water 80 to 145 centimeters high in the air, you only have to connect the mat to a garden hose.
This water toy is suitable for children over 18 months. It works like a waterfall: First you pour the water into the opening provided at the top, then it makes its way through various stations (which can be placed in different places, by the way).
Water is wonderful to play with – for example on this TÜV-tested track. Children can bring the water to life with integrated reservoirs, locks, a pump and additional play figures (three boats, a seaplane, a captain, a policeman, a man and a woman).
For children between five and ten years of age, this water park with a permanent fan is suitable for the garden: it has a slide, a climbing wall and a pool area with a bucket and water cannon. Great fun for young and old, but it also comes at a steep price.
This toy works best in water: The Floating Pool Basketball Hoop comes as a set, consisting of a basket and a ball - all made of plastic, of course, and therefore waterproof. In the summer, playing can thus be moved to the pool (or to the beach).
What should not be missing even on hot days is a water pistol. It's a toy and cool down in one - and can shoot up to ten meters away. The water tank holds 1.8 liters and can be easily unscrewed and filled. This set contains two models.
This water toy for kids works like a lawn sprinkler that connects to the garden hose. When switched on, the ladybug sprinkler rotates 360 degrees while spraying water around itself. Great fun for the whole family (pets included).
There is also a suitable water toy for children from 1.5 years of age from Playmobil: the water ride contains animals and play figures as well as different play functions, which are primarily intended to contribute to the fine motor skills and cognitive perception of the little ones - and of course it is also fun.
At the bottom of this round of introductions is a swimming animal that looks like a dragon (but also comes in other animal shapes). It is an air mattress with handles designed to give children more grip in the water. There is enough space on the surface for two small dragon riders.
This water toy in the shape of a rain cloud is ideal for small children from the age of two and is ideal for the garden (or in the bath): in order for it to fill with water, it must be submerged - then the cloud starts raining if you hold it with both hands squeezes.
