Nestle Summer Block Party: 7 Ways to Have Water Fun On a Budget
Friday, July 16, 2010
Leave a Comment
You ever have so much fun with friends at a party that you don't want to leave? Well, that's how I feel today. I'm sad it's our last day of the Nestle Summer Block Party, but I had so much fun with The Not-So Blog, Cutie Booty Cakes, Classy Chaos, and 24/7 Moms and all of you guys that I know it was all worth it. Plus, I've gotten to know so many of ya'll on the Momma Findings Facebook Fan Page that I can always chat with you over Drumsticks Sundae Cones anytime!
So, all week long I've talked to you guys about Summer Fun that won't break the bank. To re-cap, Monday we talked about music fun indoors. Tuesday was music fun OUTdoors. Wednesday we discovered places where KIDS EAT FREE and Thursday we found ways to save when going to the Movies with the family. Today, it's water fun. Oh, I love me some WATER FUN!
Friday Fun:
We love us some water fun in any way, shape, or form. Be it Sprinklers, Kiddie Pools, or Slip N Slides, my family can't get enough of splishin' and splashin'. Today I'm going to let you guys in on how we have water fun all on a budget.
- Water Balloons: I've actually forgotten about this form until I moved back home to Texas and my sister brought them out at a cook-out. They are painfully fun! We usually grab up a few bags at Family Dollar. They have the spouts included making it easier to fill. You've spent about two bucks and you'll have loads of fun chasing each other outside.
- Backyard Pools: To save on the cost of entrance at local pools, why not splash outside? You can purchase a kiddie pool these days for next to nothing or opt for a bigger easy set-up pool to fit the whole family.
- Slip N Slides: Omgosh, these have gotten so cheap it's not even funny! You can purchase, once again, at the Family Dollar, plug it into the hose, and you've got all day fun.
- Water Guns: I was never a fan of these things until my kids were older. Nowadays you can buy crazy water guns that shoot miles away (okay, maybe not that far). We usually go with off-brand guns from Family Dollar. They work just as great as Super Soakers. Don't forget to buy little ones the handheld guns so they can join in the fun too. Oh heck, we just hand our 3-year-old the water hose for defense.
- Toy Bath: Some of my kids toys get pretty filthy. For those without batteries, we take them outside. Bring in the bubbles, sponges, and soap to wipe 'em down clean in storage tubs. You'll get the toys clean and have a splashin' good time.
- Boat Making: Practice making boats with various crafts and objects you find around the house. Fill up a storage tub (or even a bucket will do) and let them test the boats out. If you have the kiddie pool set up, have a race!
- Local Pools: If you just HAVE to get out, visit your neighborhood pool for low cost entrance. My little town just opened a Water Park called Pirate's Bay and, we felt, buying a Season Pass would be most effective since we'll probably be living there everyday for the rest of the Summer. Well, I'll be honest and say my Mother-In-Law bought the passes for us which makes it the PERFECT budget savvy activity for our family. Don't ya think?
Where to Shop:
I know it's the middle of Summer and we've got Back-To-School on the brain, but I wanted you guys to take notice that I'm a big fan of dollar stores, especially Family Dollar. When you're a family of five, there are so many ways to have fun in the Summer all on a budget thanks to stores like this. We kicked off our Summer-On-A-Budget with Family Dollar and want to bring all of you guys in on what we bought:

I shop for summer products at the dollar store.
We live in an apartment complex that has a really nice pool --we love to play with the giant foam pieces from the dollar store (they look like a giant straw) I hold one end and my husband holds the other and they go back and forth. We also play on the grass with squirt guns (from the dollar store) I don't like guns--so I prefer the guns to look like seahorses or dolphins.

My family goes to a water park. We purchase our water rafts and beach chairs at Walmart.
LWons@HotMail.com
we are water park people and get our stuff from discount stores or online
jdmimi at gmail dot com
My granddaughters first choice is going to the water park, but sencond is simply being sprayed by the hose. Usually I will go to Dollar General or the Family Dollar stores for summer needs.
We like water guns and at home sprinklers as the economy can put a damper to things.
No games just super soaking and things like that, hose fun.
For summer products I like shopping at Big Lots, Family dollar or smaller department stores.

I get in the swimming pool and also hose off with the water hose. I buy floats and water toys at Walmart.

We have one of those blue pools so it keeps the kids quite happy. They love to play drown mom or have me give the rides around this tiny pool. We also go to a stream where they love to play and catch fish in their nets. We get our summer toys at walmart or dollar stores.

Do you play special games, go with the classic sprinkler, or go to a Water Park?
- Where do you shop for Summer products (water guns, sidewalk chalk, etc)?
We do both. We have a little plastic pool, two sprinklers, and we go to Disney every few years, where they have great water parks.
For summer products I always go to Toys R Us.

We have water fun in my mom's pool using an assortment of floats and rafts. The most fun we've had this year was to form a train and run around the pool until we'd made a strong current. Then we walked backwards against the current. I bought all the pool toys at Walmart this year.
We swim, sprinkler, slip N slide and more just depends on the day.
Shop- wherever, mostly Target

I shop for summer products at Wal-Mart or the Dollar General Store. They both have good selections and are cheap!
For our summer water fun we plan a day at the local Rec pool or we play in the little pool at home. On days when we're overrun with extra energy we go to the park to play and that always includes some time in the water play section.
We would love to be able to go to a WaterPark but we make do around home with Super Soakers, Water Balloons and Big buckets of water ;) And I like finding things at Walmart, Family Dollar and Target :)

Since we have a pool in our condo complex, this tends to be the spot. We have a bunch of pool toys from the dollar store that we take, as well as a bunch of large water guns that we've collected throughout the years.

We go to the water park just about daily. There is one not far from us, and the best part is that it is free! My kids can play there for hours before they get bored lol! I get summer time toys at Dollar General, or any dollar store normally. Sometimes, if I want it to last longer I'll go to Walmart, but it's mostly the dollar stores.
Thanks!!

When my kids were younger, I'd give them buckets of water and sponges (and sometimes big paint brushes). They'd have so much fun washing and painting everything with the water.
I shopped for summer products at CVS, KMart and the local dollar store. Thanks!

There is a pretty big in-ground water fountain in our city's down town area that many children, including my God-daughter and God-nephew, are taken to play.
My sister and I usually get Summer items at Target. They have a lot to offer in the "dollar section" when it comes to jump ropes and balls. Otherwise, we just go to their toy section.
Our local Y has a wonderful water park. For our summer stuff, we usually go to WalMart. Thanks!
main entry:
Question #1 - Do you play special games, go with the classic sprinkler, or go to a Water Park?
Answer: My 6yr old grandson is with me everyday and loves water & as fun as parks are they are costly if you want to cool off everyday. And my whole front yard is a long steep hill so I bought 3 differant water slides at Family Dollar (love shopping there to save $) and I hooked all 3 water slides together down the hill for one continous water slide & each has differant features one has a pool at the bottom the other has water sprinkling from its end too as well as the sides so he has lots water under & over him as he glides down the fun wet adventure. One of the waterslides came with a float so we put baby oil on the bottom off the float that sends him reeling down with fast fun.
Question#2Where do you shop for Summer products (water guns, sidewalk chalk, etc)?
Answer: As I said we love Family Dollar so I shop there for the big items like the waterslides/floats/waterguns/googles/sunscreen lotion & swim trunks then I go to dollar tree for the $1 smaller items like water balloon toys etc & frizzbies (which make great sliders too for going down the water slide (try it). thanks

We are lucky enough to have friends with an in-ground pool. So on really hot days we go over there to swim and cool off. We shop for water toys at dollar stores, Walmart or Target.

We go with squirt guns (no balloon mess to clean up after) and sprinklers at home, but will go to the dam on weekends.
The squirt guns are usually from the dollar store.
Oh! You didn't mention one of our favorite water activities! Sidewalk painting! You get a bucket of water, an old paint brush and a patch of sidewalk or driveway and "paint" pictures using the water.

We have done several things over our years of raising kids...when they were small, they loved the little blow up kiddie pool, our town has a wonderful waterpark now, I had boys so waterguns in the backyard was an option, we live in a community with beaches so sand and water options are at hand as well as playing with beach balls, frisbees, etc. and at one time we went with the sprinkler thing.

We go for the water sprinkler around here. Kids get just as wet as they would at the water park and it's a whole lot cheaper. Plus they can play other games like hide and seek, tag etc...if we are home, have more friends over and a better choice of food and treats. We do all our shopping at Dollar Tree. Every single thing in the store is $1 and they have great selections.

I usually go to Target to buy outdoor and water toys. Thanks!
We usually go to a waterpark and we also shop at the Family Dollar, Dollar tree and Kmart
We have a pool so the majority of our water time is spent in there. Though the kids do love a good water balloon fight and run through the sprinkler.

We have a boat, so we have lots of fun in that. But that certainly isn't a budget way to have fun, the boat is a money pit! Cheaper ways we have fun are water gun fights. My husband is the biggest kid with these, he loves to sneak up on the kids and dose them with water.
I generally shop for summer products at the end of the season and check the clearance items at every store, especially target, family dollar and walmart. Then I put them away for the following year.

We go with the classic sprinkler. At the end of August, I go to all the drug stores - CVS, Eckers (now Rite-Aid), and Kerr, and stock up on all their end of season summer clearance items. So then they're all new for the next summer
We live right on the Pacific Ocean, so it's the waves or the pool or hose.
Water toys from surf shop, and the Dollar Store.
We have a pool, so in our backyard! I shop mostly at Target or Big Lots.

I don't know about special games but we love to run through the sprinkler at home because it's convenient and easy. We'll also go to parks and waterparks but that's not going to happen as easily or as often.
We get most of those supplies from Walgreens.

We live in a rural area--not close to a water park. Sometimes we go to Splash! a wave pool about 45 minutes from our home. and a few years ago, I took my kids up to Wild Waves up in WA. We all love water play. If we are stuck at home, running through the sprinkler, squirt toys, and water balloons all create a lot of fun and relief from the warm weather.
We buy summer products wherever we see a good sale (at the local Bi-Mart, otherwise we need to drive into Corvallis or Eugene to shop)
we play in the sprinkler and get our water toys at the dollar store. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com

Hi, we have a small plastic pool and we also use a sprinkler to have water fun. I mostly shop at Walmart for summer products, or sometimes Amazon.com.
