We are very aware of our water usage so anything that doesnt involve running water would be the way i would go.

If you don’t have an old baby bath you can buy tubs at some of the Discount shops – if they have wheels it won’t matter on the lawn with water in it. When the kids outgrow it you can use it for storage —get a coloured one and you can hide small size presents in it. Often they are as cheap with the lids as without.
If you use tubs for that you can buy black ones if they are cheaper and put colour on them somewhere so you know what ones are for each person.
Works wonders here.

We’ve tried all these except the piñata. There’s lots of fun to be had. We also wash the car, wash the dog, have sponge fights (sponges and buckets of water), spray bottles, and drawing on the concrete with ice cubes.

These ideas are great for adults and children (well some anyway!). My kids love putting the sprinkler under the trampoline. Maybe not the safest thing to do (but they are teens) and I used to love doing it too.

Love the piñata idea! Fun for the kids to play and fun for the adults to watch

Perfect for my little ones. They love any form of water play and its great to get the whole family outside having fun together.

My little one loves the paddling pool.

Lucky there is not strict water restrictions this Summer otherwise we wouldn’t be allowed to use sprinklers. Possibly only allowed to use drip systems if we have a severe drought – on certain days between set hours. Our kids love the soaker hose as they can run along with the water coming up under them, jump sideways over it. “free shower” in places that have warm/hot climate

My kids love the sprinkler and the tap, filling up buckets and plastic tubs and having a blast. Love the pinata idea!

We have water guns/squirters too. Many of them. Everyone loves them, even the dog.

Brings back memories of my childhood especially when water wasn’t scarce.

Miss 3 loves water play. The slightest bit of water and she is in it

Nothing screams Aussie summer more than running around under a sprinkler!

Water balloons are our favourite – especially trying to throw and catch without them bursting – hilarious as they often burst when dad gets tricky with his catching.

I love the idea of the pinata! Hopefully self-made, otherwise it could become quite expensive! 🙂

Fabulous ideas now that the weather has turned a bit warmer again!

We put the water sprinkler/ mister around the net of the trampoline. The kids love bouncing and playing in the water 🙂
