Walmart has fun summer items that people of all ages will love. Check out four of them, including a water table, an electric scooter, and even a swimming pool.
Summer can be an expensive time, with your checking account taking a hit as you try to find fun things to do during the long days when school is out.
The good news is, you can give your credit cards a rest and still have an awesome time if you check out these four affordable Walmart summer favorites.
There are items on this list that will please both adults and children alike, so see if any of them could be the perfect purchase to make your summer memorable.
1. A sand-and-water table that provides two activities in one
Ask any toddler and they’ll tell you that playing in the sand is fun. And so is playing in the water. That’s why the TEMI Sand Water Table for Toddlers is the perfect toy to provide endless hours of summer enjoyment.
The table can be filled with either water or sand and comes with sand tools and water toys so kids can enjoy both options. The toy’s price tag is $52.99 and has more than 550 reviews, with parent and grandparent reviewers describing it as easy to assemble, easy to clean, and roomy enough for multiple kids to play together. Some reviewers even said it helped their kids develop their fine motor skills.
2. An electric scooter
For those kids outside of the toddler years, an electric scooter will be a great incentive to get outdoors and off of screens. The Pulse Revolution Revster 200 costs just $33.15 and is designed for kids ages eight and over. With the included 12-volt battery, kids can ride for 70 minutes without a charge. And it can convert to a kick scooter once the power runs out, so your kids may even get some exercise as an added bonus.
The product received mostly positive reviews as well, with the limited complaints focused on the color and the fact that in a few cases, the product arrived damaged.
3. An inflatable swimming pool
For $55.99, adults and kids alike can enjoy some summer fun by splashing around in the SOFIA Inflatable swimming pool, which measures 120″ x 72″ x 23″, meaning it’ll fit the whole family.
The pool is constructed of thick PVC for durability and is lead-free, and BPA-free for safety. You can inflate it within three minutes using an electric pump (which is not included) and two drain plugs make drainage easy after you’ve enjoyed it for a few hours — so your HOA won’t complain about a pool in the yard.
Reviewers were mostly positive about this product as well, with some users describing it as holding up nicely and being a “breeze to inflate.”
4. A lawn water slide
The classic slip and slide has been given a big upgrade with the JOYIN 22.5ft water slide that comes with two body boards and sells for $42.99. The slide sets up in minutes after enrolling and securing the bumper, and you can connect a hose directly to it to keep the water flowing and the fun coming.
Safety stakes ensure the slide stays where you put it so your kids can enjoy sliding safely. And, adults may even decide to join in the fun due to its length. With 4.7 out of 5 stars, the slide was a big hit, with many reviewers commenting it was larger than expected and priced great.
Maybe a few of these items sound like they’ll enhance your summer fun. Just be sure to buy them with a cash back or rewards credit card, so you’ll have a little extra money coming back to you that you can use to treat everyone to ice cream on a hot summer day.
