Octopus Waterparty

Product Information

Sprinklers are generally safer than kiddie pools—but smaller kids still need adult supervision while playing in the sprinklers or on a splash pad. Here are a few other ways to help keep all kids safe while they slip, slide, and run through the sprinklers. Water sprays out in all directions as the top of the octopus whirls around, soaking everybody in its path.

The sprinkler is made from polypropylene so is suitable for leaving outdoors, plus it comes with two hose adaptor options to connect to any hosepipe. Position a slip ‘n slide so that the kids won’t run into anything hard (like a tree) or sharp (like the cactus garden) if they overshoot (which they inevitably will.) What's more, it will look great in your garden. Not too big to take up the entire lawn and cute in design, this octopus sprinkler will make a great addition to your outside space. Since it's super cheap, it would also make a great prop for themed events or parties. Many players can come and have a go as they please but you could keep a score card if you're really feeling competitive. For smaller outdoor spaces, inflatable splash balls and small garden sprinklers provide entertainment but don't take up a ton of room.It's generally very easy to set up a kids' sprinkler in the garden. You inflate your sprinkler with air, then connect it to your garden hosepipe. Many inflatables come with their own connectors or adapters that make them suitable for most hose types. It may be a little pricier than a usual beach ball, but this best sprinkler ball for kids is far better than average. It's giant in size and sprays water in all directions for additional fun. Plus, it will cool you down and water the plants in the process. The octopus is the cuter of the two, at least in my humble opinion, with a blue body balancing a ball on the top of his head, which also doubles as the sprinkler mechanism. Once the hose spigot is turned on, the water sprays out in jets upward. It took me a couple uses to realize that the ball on top is supposed to spin, which it didn’t do the first couple times we used it, but after messing around with it for a bit, we got it working. Honestly, I actually liked it a little better when it didn’t spin, as it shot up higher than the other one, reaching heights of about four feet; when it’s spinning, it doesn’t seem to reach so high, instead shooting water out in unpredictable patterns. It’s still fun, though. Since water is a finite resource, the more we can do to conserve it, the better for everyone. But that doesn’t mean your kids can’t have all the sprinkler fun they desire this summer! These tips will help you reduce your water usage while maximizing the water you do use—all without ruining any of the fun.

Plug your hose into the slide, wait for it to get wet and then launch yourself along the ground on your belly. The best part? With two lanes you can get competitive and race your fellow play mate.

Hydro Watermelon Sprinkler

Kids are sure to love cooling off with this fun purple octopus sprinkler, which spins 360° – and we bet parents and dogs will love it too. There are loads of water sprinklers for kids to choose from, depending on the size of your garden and the age of your child, and all are great fun for keeping cool on sunny days.

Got a trampoline? You can turn it into a waterpark with a trampoline sprinkler, which will never get old with little ones. The bottom of the mat has a fun underwater theme and the set comes with 10 plastic counters for kids to compete and learn to count. Step on the numbers around the pool and score as many points as possible. If there's an accidental hole or puncture don't fret - there are two handy repair patches included. Sprinklers include the hard plastic varieties that sit low to the ground, larger inflatable sprinklers anchored by stakes or a heavy base, and trampoline sprinklers that attach to the net frame with zip ties. Just plug ‘em into in the hose, set ‘em up, and turn on the water. Slip and slides are long, narrow, and made of slippery PVC. They usually have water jets along the inflatable or water-filled bumpers to keep the entire length of the slide wet. They’re like splash pads for the big kids—including adults, who also go nuts for a slip ‘n slide. Most slip ‘n slides come with at least one inflatable body board, and some have an inflatable bumper or shallow pool at the end to (maybe) bring the slider to a (somewhat) gentle stop (depending on how hell-bent they are on breaking speed records.) Babies to Boomers: Sprinklers for kids of all agesReady for a “get off my lawn” moment? When I was a kid, all we had to keep cool and splash in for the summer were those metal sprinkler systems that were made to actually water the lawn — not necessarily for a kid’s use for summer fun — or those plastic pools that always seemed to fold into themselves while you were in it. Now kids have these amazing splash pads they can use all summer long, and to be fair, childhood me is pretty jealous. I’m not alone. When the pandemic hit, inflatable pools and other outdoor toys completely sold out as parks and community splash pads shut down.
