Review: Naturally Playful Sand and Water Activity Center

Description: This activity center comes with two sides one for water and one for sand. It also includes a cover, an umbrella and an eight piece toy set.

Review: Without a doubt this is a great outdoor activity center. It’s easy to put together and not hard for us to move. We can set it up on the patio if we are there or even in the yard if we are working in the garden and playing with the dogs.

It has two sides one for water and one for sand. Just don’t hold your breath that the water and sand will stay in those different areas. My son thinks it’s great to mix the two together and see just how much of a mess he can make.

I like the cover. It actually stays on and is easy to attach. Plus it has a play space so if we are out under the awning my son can still play with it. It does a great job of keeping the rain and those unwanted bugs out. At least the ones my son doesn’t deposit in there as he plays.

He enjoys the toys that come with it too. There are boats, bridges, shovels and sand buckets and he just has a ball with them. I have to laugh when I watch him play because you never know if the boat will be in the sand and the sand bucket full of water or not. He uses his imagination very well with this toy.

The sun umbrella is a great addition. I like to work in my garden and my son likes to be with me. With the umbrella I’m not worried that he might become sun burnt or even overly hot while playing.

This activity center is a great addition to our backyard. My son loves it, we love it and all the neighborhood kids love it. Oh yea I almost forgot, the assembly was pretty easy too. That’s the best part of all.

Review: Dive Balls

Description: Bright colored balls with tails that sink to the bottom of the water for you to grab and have fun with. They come in a package of three.

Review: These balls are so much fun. Just throw them in the water and down they go. The tails flutter so they are easy to see and fun to watch. Once they hit the bottom they stay until retrieved by some of the best divers in your family.

Because they are so brightly colored the kids have no problems finding them once they hit the pool bottom. My kids like to watch the tails float. They kind of look like fish fins the way the sway in the water. The more the water moves the more the tails move.

We adults have a lot of fun with them too. We play games and see who can grab the most at once or who can bring one up the quickest. My children are even learning to do some great dives in the process. They think it’s a kick to see who can make the smoothest dives so the tails don’t flitter or who can make the water move the most when they dive so the tails go like crazy.

If you have a pool and are looking for something a little different for the kids (and adults) to play with to have some fun with, grab a pack of these dive balls. They are great.

Review: Kids Garden Tool Set

Description: This child’s gardening tool set comes with one handle and three interchangeable heads. There is included in the set a rake, a shovel and a fruit picker.

Review: Most of my time is spent in my garden. My children like to be out there with me but I’m always afraid they will get hurt on the garden tools. I wanted them to be able to spend time with Mom, help in the garden if they wanted to and still be safe.

I found this little garden tool set. It has worked great with my children. Although I wish each tool had it’s own handle so both the kids could play at the same time. They still have a lot of fun with it and have decided to start their own garden next year.

The different tool heads are interchangeable. The kids have a great time with the shovel. I find small holes dug all over the yard. The rake is great too. The only thing is they haven’t really gotten down pat the fact that once they dig the hole they can use the rake to put the dirt back. I usually find it in the grass along the way.

I don’t think they have ever used the fruit picker. At least not to pick fruit with. It’s cute though and the kids have used it to catch the little golf balls and other items they find to throw back and forth.

This little garden set is a lot of fun for my children. It’s not used much in the garden, but they still find ways of entertaining themselves with it for hours. That’s enough for me because an entertained child is a happy child.
