For babies and young children, wading pools are great fun during hot weather. The small pools provide a safe place for parents to supervise little ones playing in the water. Add wading pool toys and enhance water playtime for your little ones.
Appropriate Toys for a Wading Pool
Kids will want to take their favorite toys everywhere with them, including the wading pool. This is not always a good idea because not every toy is made to go in water, and some may even get damaged if they get wet. It is also inconvenient for both parent and a child who wants a certain toy with her all the time to deal with wet toys after play. Cloth toys will have to be washed and dried before the next play session.
Many plastic toys not specifically designed for water may get moisture trapped inside them, which poses a risk for both dripping all over the house as well developing mold if not properly aired out. Bath toys, such as rubber duckies, are water safe but you may not want to take them outdoors. If you do, clean them with soap and water before using them in your child's bath. The best solution for parent and child is to have special water safe toys just for the wading pool.
Make sure the toys are age appropriate and safe for water play.

Caring for Pool Toys
Caring for your kid's pool toys properly will help them last longer. Follow these tips to help toys make it through at least one season:
- Shake out excess water and remove any trapped moisture from the toy.
- Dry the toy after use and place on a towel to air out until completely dry.
- Wash the toy periodically with soap and water, especially if it gets dirty.
- Save pool toys, even bath toys used exclusively in the pool, just for pool play. This makes sure the toys don't get lost, dirty or beat up before they are needed in the pool.
With proper care, pool toys can provide years of water entertainment.
