Playing in the swimming pool is loads of fun, especially if you include this game. It can be played by all ages, making it a race for the older ones to see who can get the most objects or just a familiarisation to water with the younger ones.

What you need:

• pool
• floatable toys
• bucket

Number of players:
2+

Activity:

Scatter floatable toys around the pool surface.

Set the bucket down at a certain point and assist your child to wade around and pick them up.

Perhaps place a few objects on the steps of the pool to encourage your child to reach under the water and eventually be comfortable to put their face in the water.
