I love these inflatable toddler pools. We get one every year for our grandkids. Our dogs always seem to puncture a hole when they want to play too. But besides that, these pools are great to stay cool at home and cheaper.

When the grandkids are over, nothing will cheer them up more than a good ol water balloon fight. I love that you can fill these up so fast and all at once and you don't have to tie them.
