Bath toys gain new life as pool toys

There’s still time and heat for the kiddie pool! Jenna’s good-sense hack:

    Many toys can go from outdoor to indoors. Great idea using the pool toys for bath toys too.

    We use old nasal aspirators (clean ones) to squirt water when playing in the pool. This is especially great since I’m not a fan of water guns. It’s a great way to use something that has been retired around our house.
