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!

As a kid, Nicole either wanted to be a professional toy player-wither or a writer. Somehow, as social media editor for The Toy Insider, The Toy Book, and The Pop Insider, she’s found a career as both. She's grateful to work somewhere that she can fully embrace both her love of teddy bears and her admiration for the Oxford comma. When she's not playing with toys at work, she's playing with her baby girl at home.
