To add some excitement to our backyard kiddie pool, I decided to throw a few sharks in! {Balloon sharks of course!} (: These “balloon” sharks are simple to make and my kids loved the activity that went with them!
Start out my blowing up balloons of various colors. I did two pink ones for my little girl and two blue ones for my little guy. {You could definitely blow up more if you think your older kids could handle it. For my toddlers, 2 were plenty of a challenge!} Now, using your best artistic skills, draw some shark faces on each of the balloons. {This definitely tested my art abilities! (: }
Next, give your kiddos the rules: The player who squashes {and pops} all of their sharks first is the winner!
This activity definitely kept them busy! Boy were those sharks hard to squash! In the end, I think the fingernails were brought out, but the sharks were not longer invading the pool! (:
What fun activities do your kiddos like to play in the pool? All of our afternoon activities have to involve water since it is 90+ degrees outside so we’re ready for some more fun ideas!!
