Children love water. They are drawn to it like a fish is. Whether they are splashing in the bathtub, prancing on a beach, or swimming in a pool, children derive endless pleasure from water. Water is more entertaining than any toy will ever be, because there is so much to do with it and it takes over the senses. If you are looking for something fun and safe your kids can do in the backyard, especially during the hot summer months when they are home from school, why not entertain them with a water feature? Water features are easy to install, inexpensive to purchase, and will provide hours and hours of fun for any child.
There are many fountains that are safe for kids. If you have a pond, you can easily add a fountain to it. If you have a pool, you can also add a "spitter" to that. Spitters are fountains that spit water into another feature, such as a pond. Kids get a kick out of them. There are many spitters choose from. You can get a giant brass dolphin spitter or a small goldfish spitter - whichever you choose, your kids will love it.
There are also attachments you can add to hoses that act as sprinklers. They water your lawn while your kids have fun. Look for water fountains that attach to hoses that your kids can play in. They will have great fun. You may even let them invite a couple friends over.
You might not want your kids to get wet from a fountain. In that case, there are many playful looking fountains that you can use as accents, but warn your kids not to play with. There are butterflies and child statues, animals and fairies, that you can add in your yard near your child's play area. These floor fountains tend to be very durable and will not break, should they be bumped into.
To purchase a fountain for your child, look online. Typically, you can find better deals online than you can in any warehouse, toy store, nursery, or specialty shop, because there is so much competition online. Normally specialty stores face very little competition because there are so few of them within a city. But there are many fountain retailers online who must offer low prices if they are to stay in business. Many even provide free shipping. Once you have installed your fountain, relax while you're children have fun in it. It will entertain them for a long time, which means there will be more time for you to relax.
