Love It – Skippies (Water Toys)

My girls picked out a pool toy, Skippies by Fluid, to give to Daddy for his birthday a couple weeks ago and we got to try them out on our recent trip to Charleston.  It was a BLAST playing with these floating discs!!!!  I have to admit I was thinking of using the Skippies mainly for time in the pool because I thought we would lose them in the ocean with the waves.  Since we didn’t have the opportunity to use them at the pool first we decided to test them in the ocean anyway.   The whole family had a lot of fun playing with the “Skippies”!  They floated really well, were bright colors which made them easy to spot in the water, and light weight so if one managed to hit you it didn’t hurt (we tested that theory, Jake even managed to hit me on the forehead one time).  Plus they were easy to grab and throw even for the kids.

Several people in the water near us stopped us to ask about them.  I was impressed with how entertaining they were and how easy they were to use even for our girls.  It is a great time of year to check out these neat pool toys as the summer season begins to wrap up.  They are not expensive and can provide a lot of fun entertainment for your whole family.  I found them on clearance at our local Sports Authority when they were closing down the store on Laurens Road.  I am looking forward to trying them out at the pool now that we tested them successfully in the ocean!  They come in a pack of 4 and measure 3 inch in diameter.  You can find them at Toy Splash!

“Love It” is a series of posts on items that I use regularly or seasonally in my household that I love!  There are some items in our daily lives that make life more enjoyable, efficient, or just plain fun.  I will be sharing with you some of the products that have been given to us (or to me) that have made it to the top of my list.  It’s my way of giving a huge thumbs up!
