But when it comes to general safety, we've also included water toys that are a safe bet for splashy effect guaranteed to cool hot kids down under the summer sun.
While most of the older kids will love water balloons, it's the younger ones who are still learning how to toss and throw. This can make filling traditional water balloons a real chore for parents despite all of the new multi-balloon bomb fillers that you typically see these days.
This is why it's better to use refillable water balloons that can be used over and over, for little kids who might drop or accidentally break their water balloon. We found a great alternative called Soppycidย Self-Sealing reusable water balloons that seal water inside using magnets!
These reusable water balloons are made of super soft silicone and fill up using a bucket full of water instead of a water hose. They're also great for kids who haven't learned to fill those regular rubber balloons and there's no need for tying them up at all, they simply seal together trapping water inside, and are ready to toss.
Little kids can also run up to other kids and squash these refillable water bombs onto other kids with little effort. The best part is that these deliver an impressive cascading splash of water that is safe and incredibly fun for kids of all ages.
