As summer approaches and the weather becomes warmer, you might wonder what the best ways are to enjoy being outdoors, without lounging around in a pool. Consider throwing a pool-less pool party! Transform your backyard into an activity centre complete with water play, interactive toys and games, but most importantly a sun safe station.

1. Sun Station

Create a “sun safe” basket to keep when you and your children are outside. Place within the basket suntan lotions all in one area, an alarm clock to set a timer for reapplication, UV skin stickers, hats, sunglasses, and other sun safe gear.

2. Waterways 

Bring in some fun toys and interactive water incorporated games. Try outdoor inflatables, rainbow sprinklers, badminton, bubbles, water cannons, water nunchucks, and even giant snakes and ladders.

3. DIY water bomb game

Cut up kitchen sponges, and soak in water. Place colanders strapped on your head and you have to catch the water bombs (kitchen sponges). Great way to cool down on a summer day!
