An inflatable pool is always a good idea and a great way to wear out all their energy. This pool is thick and has a reasonable height, allowing you to adjust the water depth depending on your child's age. Throw in some colourful balls or cups for extra entertainment!

For slightly older kids (or even adults), this interactive penguin game is similar to Jenga but instead of keeping blocks from falling, you need to keep the penguin from tumbling.

The game comes in multiple sizes.
