    26 Ways To Turn Your Backyard Into The Playground Of Your Kid’s Dreams

    Are these for your kids.... or just you?

    1. A tricked-out pool for a splash in a flash.

    2. A literal trampoline waterpark attachment to really make your own childhood dreams come true.

    3. A game of cactoss (if flying metal horseshoes plus children doesn't have a nice *ring* to it).

    4. A patch of flowers so both you and your kid can have an afternoon spritzer.

    5. An inflatable bouncer for a *crash course* in sumo wrestling.

    6. An inflatable soccer field, because building a stadium might take a little longer than the summer.

    7. A group of balloons that fill 100 at a time for a battle you've waited for your whole life.

    8. A larger-than-life drawing stick if your kid walks the walk and chalks the chalk.

    9. A blow-up waterslide to save your budget from going down a slippery slope.

    10. A gaping fish who'll gargle your baby, but in a good way.

    11. A Rocky Mountain River Race... without the long car ride to an amusement park.

    12. A glow-in-the-dark game of capture the flag so the party doesn't have to stop once the sun goes down.

    13. A floating basketball hoop for a big ~swam dunk~.

    14. An ice cream truck that you and your tyke don't have to run after.

    15. A classic see-saw, because ain't no good days like the old days.

    16. A monster swing with enough support for the whole litter.

    17. A princess play tent so your majesty can reign over her land properly.

    18. A pool volleyball net that saves the soft serve for the ice cream man.

    19. A 12-foot parachute as the simplest solution to entertaining the kids for hours.

    20. A towering T-Rex who thankfully does not have a taste for children.

    21. A shaded pool with a mister so scorching summer days don't slow you down.

    22. A giant wand and mix for bubbles larger than your own children.

    23. A swirling sprinkler that'll send your kids twirling.

    24. A couple of UFOs as a super-galactic battle without NASA's budget.

    25. A water arcade without any required tickets or creepy life-size rodent (here's looking at you, Chucky).

    26. A mini rollercoaster for your little adventurer's ride of their young life.

    Time to get the kids off the couch.
