Sprinkle & Splash Play Mat - 68" Water Sprinkler, Kiddie Outside Water Play Swimming Pools Toy for Toddlers Kids Boys and Girls - Perfect Inflatable Outdoor Summer Water Toys Sprinkler pad

This is perfect for preschoolers. It is easier to set up than a wading pool. You don’t have to wait for it to fill up with ice cold water from the hose. It would be similar to letting the kids play in the sprinkler, but after about 10 minutes, I turn it off, and there’s about an inch of water pooled in the middle which warms up quickly, and my 1 year old, who doesn’t like to play in the cold water when the hose is on, loves to splash in it once I turn it off. It is also much easier to pick up than a wading pool when it is time to mow the lawn, and it is easier to keep it clean. With a wading pool, I always wanted to leave it filled, so the water would be warm, but then the water would get dirty so quickly. With this splash pad, it is so quick to set up and pick up, and it quickly dries off, so it doesn’t get slimy. I love it, and I will be happy if it lasts through the summer. I don’t know if it would work for older kids, because it seems kind of flimsy and might break if kids treat it too roughly.

This has been so delightful for two youngsters when the weather had been so hot - it has been easy to put out and hook up and the kids have such a good time with it.

This has been so perfect for us. It was a bit slippery for the 16 month old so my husband put sand, then fake grass in it, and the kids have a blast when they visit. So refreshing in the heat. The kids all love it!

This was cute fun and easy to use, but after the kids left I couldn’t get all the water out. Gross

My 18 month old loves this thing. It's easy to use, just lay flat and hook up the hose. You have to turn the water on high at first, or else it will take a while to fill. After it's full and the water starts squirting out of the holes, I suggest turning the water pressure down so the material doesn't rip. The holes that the water comes out of aren't reinforced, so I think that over time, they may rip if the water is turned on too high. Other than that, this is a great sprinkler pad for kids. The water collects in the middle and creates a shallow pool, which my daughter enjoys splashing around it. It takes a little while to empty, but other than that, I'm happy with the purchase.

I bought this product for my SS and ended up taking it to work for my class instead. They loved it! Fits a large group of children no problem and doesn't fill up with a lot of water. I saw many people talking about how the water spouts out of the pool and I had that issue but only until it filled all the way up then they turned back the right way. Only downfall is the way the waterhose sticks up. It can be a tripping hazard.**edited to add 2 years later and its still going strong even the part where the waterhose connects. No leaks or rips.

Super fun splash pad. It fills with water and sprinklers surround the circle filling the shallow pool area. Even hold water for quite sometime in the pool area. My 3 yr old grandson loves it. He can’t swim in the pool it isn’t deep enough, but that wasn’t why we bought it. Does exactly what we expected. Very well made. Durable because he has to have his hot wheel cars with him wherever he goes. He lays on his belly under the sprinklers in the pool area playing with his cars. Also slides down his slide into it. Great fun.

My 7 year old loves this. It’s big enough for him to play around on. His favorite thing is to run and slid across it like a slip and and slide. My only complaint is it’s hard to get the water to to shoot onwards towards the pad, it wants to shoot outwards. It takes a lot of messing with the sides to get it right.
