\"Water<\/a>Summer is in full swing, and as a Together Counts\u2122 ambassador, I\u2019ve been on the hunt for ways to stay active while staying cool. You don\u2019t need a beachfront estate or even an adult sized pool to have fun and get active with your kids this summer. All you need is a simple kiddie pool! Here are five fun ways to splash and move with your little (and not so little) ones all summer long.<\/p>\n

1. Icebergs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pop some bath toys in plastic containers and fill them up with water. Freeze them and then toss them into the pool with the kids. The fun begins with a competition who can melt their toy out of the ice first!<\/p>\n

2. Turn Your Kiddie Pool into a Sit in Water Table<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clean off all your sand toys, funnels, scoops, pails, and add a few toddlers or preschoolers. But don\u2019t just stop here, jump in yourself. Explore the water pouring from sitting and standing positions. Fill them up and dump them out!<\/p>\n

3. Target Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fill up water balloons and use the pool as the target. To make it harder use hula hoops as starting lines getting further and further away from the pool.<\/p>\n

4. Water Gun Refill Station<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fill up your pool and place it in the middle of the yard as a communal refill station for water battles. Everyone is safe while filling up but after that it\u2019s everyone for themselves so you better run!<\/p>\n

5. Fairy Stew<\/strong><\/p>\n

Run around the yard and find flower petals and leaves to toss into the pool. You can jump in and pretend to be a water nymph or simply create an oasis for fairies. Sparkly wings optional.<\/p>\n

How do you and your family stay active in the water during the summer?<\/p>\n
