1. A tie-dye kit so you can add some cheerful color to any of your boring white clothing or bedding. Backyard = your new art studio.
2. A set of extendable s'mores sticks to make roasting marshmallows an easier-than-ever task.
3. A unicorn or rocket ship sprinkler so everyone can cool off in the cutest way possible.
4. A game of ladder toss complete with two ladders, six bolo balls, score trackers, and a carrying case.
6. A watermelon ball that, as the name suggests, is filled with water instead of air. Its weight makes it ideal for intense games of keep-away.
7. A fun eco-friendly gardening kit so you can try your hand at making your own veggies right in your own backyard.
8. And a kid gardening kit so your little ones can join in on the fun. It even comes with a paint set so they can decorate their pots before planting.
9. A floating volleyball net to add some competitive fun to the pool equation.
10. A wacky waving inflatable tube man that stands at an impressive six feet and lets your neighbors know you have the best car deals in town.
11. A printable scavenger hunt list so you can keep the kids busy as they search high and low for ants, acorns, and other backyard treasures.
12. A shark mouth for sun-fearing folk who'd like a little shade out of their pool float of choice. It's also great for attacking your friends.
13. A game of Hookey, which is almost as fun as playing hooky (leaving school or work) but without any of the consequences (detention).
14. A rainbow parachute so you can recreate the most fun activity from your childhood: pretending you live in a little rainbow bubble with all your pals.
15. A miniature picnic table that can be attached to the trunk of a tree and fitted with a small corn cob. Squirrels are coming over for dinner anyway — might as well provide seating.
16. A gigantic game of Jenga so the stakes are (literally) higher.
17. Inflatable cup holders so everyone's drinks can join in on the pool fun.
18. A steel cactus torch that'll make your late-night porch sessions look pretty sharp.
19. A set of massive bubble wands so you and your kids can create impressively ginormous bubbles.
20. A camping hammock with built-in netting to keep you protected from any bugs that wanna crash your slumber party.
21. A set of solar-powered pineapple lights so your backyard paths stay lit in the most adorable way possible.
I wish you luck taming your yard!
