Toddlers love peekaboo, and they’ll love being chased by “Marco” (even if their eyes are wide open). Toddlers will love sending the pretend “sea otters” to the bottom of the pool to retrieve it. For an extra challenge perfect for strong swimmers, use a ball that sinks. ![]() Have them toss the ball to willing participants pretending to be sea otters – whether it’s another toddler, older kids, or another adult. Hand your toddler a ball while they’re either sitting on the steps, playing in the shallow end, or floating in a raft.

With an age-appropriate floating device and an adult to help, toddlers will have a blast bumping into each other on their “bumper boats”. Supplies Needed: Inflatable pool tube or another device for each participant ![]()
