Water Activities with Kids
Water Activities with Kids
The usual:
- Bathing suits - I LOVE Primary.com for the simple, versatile options; they have one- and two-pieces, as well as sleeveless and sleeved rashguards, and easily can mix and match color schemes amongst all of your kids! (and get hats to match :)
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Towels
Other:
- Terry robes - works so much better keeping your soaking wet child warm than wrapping them up in a towel. I've only tried this brand but it worked for us!
- Water shoes
- Natives - expensive, but sturdy and versatile (more than just for water!)
- Baby floaties - we've used the following:
- Upright Floaters - this is the most popular, and it's better than nothing, but neither of my kids liked this as babies
- Belly Floaters - babies tend to like this better because they're on their stomach instead of struggling to stay upright in the other ones
- Non-inflatable - easier and looks more comfortable, but doesn't collapse
- Inflatable - easier for transport and storage, but takes a little work fo inflate
- Non-inflatable with canopy - I haven't used this one, but if this had been available when I was purchasing, I would have gotten this one for the canopy!
- Toddler swimmies
- PuddleJumpers - the only one I've tried on my child, and she loves it! Doesn't complain nearly as much as I used to when my parents put regular life vests on me
- Waterproof bags - an ESSENTIAL if you need to keep important belongings close to you even when in the water
- Waterproof phone case - I have only used Lifeproof Fre but it's expensive if you're only using this case for the occasional water activity.
