Every summer, I look for a handful of toys that will make my kids' summer magical. I have found the simpler the toys the better. If I give the kids the tools their imaginations do the rest.

Amazon Summer Toy List

1. Melissa and Doug Splash Pad

I love this toy so much so that our first version had to be retired. The games that the kids create with this toy are endless. Running, jumping, makeshift water gun and this year it is being used under the trampoline.

# of Uses - Endless

1. Water Guns

What better way to cool off during the summer than with a backyard water fight? One day, the kids will be playing Star Wars and the next it can be soldiers or even a simple game of kids against mommy.

# of Uses - Endless however mine tend to last a year

3. Water Beads

This is the first summer that we are using water beads, the kids opened up the water beads this afternoon and have been playing with them all day long. Scooping, sorting, pouring, and even putting them in the trampoline. So far the Water Beads are a HUGE hit!

4. Gelli Baff

This product has 4 stars on Amazon which is what drew my attention. Have you ever had one of those days: the kids are fighting, or maybe it is 100+ degrees and everyone is a little cranky. A toy like this can make everyone's day magical. No prep for you, and something new for the kids!

5. WOWMAZING GIANT BUBBLE WAND KIT

There you have it, $78+ tax and hours of summer magic for the kids and the whole family.
