As we approach summer and the weather starts getting warm, it’s time to break out the swimsuits and sunscreen and get outdoors. I don’t know about you, but no amount of water play is enough for my kids. My toddler was ready to run through sprinklers the moment the temperature hit 70 degrees, and even my baby is making her own water play these days with the dog’s water bowl when I’m not looking.

Water play can keep kids busy for a good chunk of time, but an even better perk? It encourages learning across all different areas, including math and science as kids experiment, physical skills as kids run around, and social and emotional skills as kids play.

Since water play is a win-win for parents and kids, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite water play toys and activities below.

“The journey to motherhood looks different for everyone, but one thing we all have in common is that, however you get there, it takes strength, love, and endurance that only mommas have. So to all of the moms out there: you are strong, you are needed, and you are loved!” - @lizmariegalvan

As we celebrate the guilty verdict brought down to

As we celebrate the guilty verdict brought down today, let’s not forget “slave patrols” and America’s centuries-long history of policing Black bodies through violence and intimidation. Let’s not forget Mike Brown, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, and countless others whose lives were taken by law enforcement officers. Let’s not forget that Black people are three times more likely than white people to be killed by the police. Let’s not forget that accountability isn’t a placeholder for justice. Most importantly, let’s not forget that until Black bodies are no longer considered a threat, our fight must continue. George Floyd’s 7-year-old daughter Gianna is right, her daddy did change the world. Let the change not be in vain.
