Today it was -25 outside. Winter is my favourite season but, I do love swimming! So I transformed the k’s playroom into a little pool party and invited a few of L. Friends. It was a blast super easy to set up and clean. You might think to yourself, a bath would work just as well. I would disagree! This was such a nice change of scenery, they got to choose if they wanted in or out of the water. L really enjoyed being out of the pool but getting to splash and play with her toys. Well her friend was in the pool splashing about having the time of his life!

Also super hard to take L and J to the pool by myself when Rian is working so next best thing 😜

Materials needed:

Kiddy pool

Water

Tarp

Lots of towels

Water toys

Big pot and large mug

Set up:

I put the tarp down just in case one of the dogs wanted to take a dip. Then I placed the pool down and placed towels around the pool. I went to the sink and put the tap on hot water. I filled the biggest pot I had in my kitchen about 5 times. Just enough to have a few inches to splash and play in. Added our toys and we had a blast!!

Taking down: After the kids were dressed I took the largest mug in my cupboard. Started scooping out all the water, took about 5 mins to get all the water out of the kiddy pool. Towels went straight to the wash and toys back to the bath!
