19. This Floating Recliner Gives You a Place to Relax With A Book in the Pool

If you have a pool or live near a lake, it’s likely that you already own some kind of floatation device. The only issue with a flat pool mattress is that they sink way too easily, and you’re not actually staying dry while floating in the pool. This is why you might want to consider buying a pool recliner. This is a thick, strong pool float that will keep you above water. It’s perfect for anyone who’s hoping to get a tan, read a book, or listen to music while they take a nap.

16. Water Beads

Water beads are small plastic balls that get larger when you put them in water. They’re squishy, colorful, and a lot of fun. Never seen them before? Check out Mr. Beast’s video where he filled up an entire swimming pool with Orbeez. We don’t recommend actually doing this, since it would be a huge pain to clean up! Believe it or not, these little water beads were originally designed for adults to use in potted plants. The dry soil drains out the water from the orbs as it’s needed, so you never over-water your plants. But younger kids like playing with water beads for sensory play. You can also reuse them by allowing the beads to dry in the sun.
