It’s officially almost August and that means just one thing: It’s so dang hot outside.

There is nothing more refreshing than taking a dip in a pool, chilling at the beach, or even taking a cool bubble bath when it’s a bajillion degrees outside — even for kids under the age of 2. While they might not quite be Michael Phelps-level swimmers yet (let’s be honest, none of us are), they can enjoy watery, cool fun, too.

Most of the toys below can be used outside or inside, for a splash of fun on the hottest days. Ranging from pools to tummy-time mats to dolls kids can swim with, there’s something for every future Phelps. Check it all out below!


BathTime Baby Llama-Corn

The magic of llamas and unicorns combine to get babies ready for bath time. This doll features a removable bathrobe and sewn-on, stylish swimsuit. It dries super quickly so it will be ready to play indoors after the pool party. Parents can throw the doll in the washing machine to clean it, which means tots can take it just about anywhere.

Tummy Time Water Mat

Babies who are too small to head into the ocean can practice their scuba-diving schools at home or on the beach instead. Parents can inflate the outer part of the mat with air and the inner part with water so the bright ocean creatures can really float. Little ocean explorers can be distracted from how much they loathe tummy time if parents put a splash of water on top of the mat as well on to cool them off on a hot day.

Pail Pals

While the bucket itself is part of the toy, the stars and rings inside make for extra fun. At the pool, babies can swim after them as they float or at home, they can hold onto them while Mom and Dad wash their hair. The bucket can be used at the beach to fill with sand or if its filled with water, it acts just like a sprinkler held over baby's head.
