The rain at the end was a paid actor.☔️🤣

But in all seriousness, we are so excited about the new Lifetime location opening in West Bountiful. Seeing some of our favorite toys up close and personal was incredible. There is so much value in really seeing these toys up close.🙏🏼

Lifetime also excels in quality and you can see and feel that in person!🤩 Not to mention you can save HUNDREDS for shopping in store.

Water play is the secret to more play. My kids use this water pump every single day and it instantly makes outdoor play more engaging. Perfect for mud kitchens, playhouses, arts and crafts, sensory setups, sand, chalk, dirt…just add water. 💦

A water table for ALL AGES!🤩 This is the Pump & Splash Shady Oasis and all 4 of my kids are able to enjoy it together.

I’d recommend it for ages 1-8. It also includes a hand pump that recirculates the water for continued play. All the accessories included also make this a toy your kids won’t leave alone this summer. #toytestingsisters

These firework water blasters are a must for summer. They cool you off without the stinging or pelting that comes with some water blasters. The firework-shaped nozzle creates a super fun 360° rotating spray effect that makes every water fight even more fun.

My favorite lace trim tank is one sale from @shopbohme 👏🤩 Under $20 and perfect for layering or by itself. I have it in 3 colors I love it so much.

Tis the season for WATER TABLES!💦 I have rounded up 7 of the best water tables on the market and they all just happen to be from @thestep2company

Each water table is unique for different reasons, but have enough of my water table requirements to include them into my seven stellar finds!🙏🏼

1. Rain Showers Splash Pond
Recommended age 1.5-4
This one has all the classic features and accessories to Lone and love and is also affordable at $90! A recirculating pump can also be added to level up play.

2. Putt & Splash Adventure Center
Recommended age 2-7
Soooo many unique features and accessories to keep it fully immersive. Where are my golf lovers at?

3. Pump & Splash Shady Oasis
Recommended age 2-10
This thing holds so many kids and recirculates the water using a traditional hand pump. SO UNIQUE and fully shaded!

4. Sunny Day Splash
Recommended age 2-7
The large water basin and circular shape help accommodate more children at once. The umbrella misters are a really unique touch and keep things cool.

5. Waterpark Wonders
Recommended age 1.5-8
This was my personal favorite because the hose attaches to really add to the water table play. There are also two levels that can both be enjoyed at different ages.

6. Tropical Splash Water Park
Recommended ages 1.5-7
This is a Costco exclusive! The dump bucket is fun but might be a little startling to little kids. It is still lots of fun and has two levels.

7. Misting Mountain & Waterfall
Recommended age 1-3
Meat for little kids because it is just their size. The features on both sides kept my 1 year old fully engaged.

I’m convinced this is the most invincible toy @lifetimeproducts makes! That is because it has stood the test of time for 20 YEARS!🤯

I’m sharing it because I found it back in stock at Home Depot and ON SALE!!🙏🏼#toytestingsisters

This metal detector is putting in the work at my house! It has an adjustable coil so all of my kids can use.

House tour but it’s actually just the stat of my water table series where I show you SEVEN water tables from Step 2 that we genuinely LOVE!👏7️⃣ #toytestingsisters

So I am starting a series where I’ll review each water table so if you need more help choosing I can guide you in the right direction!🤩

Lifetime didn’t disappoint with this MASSIVE playhouse that can withstand all kinds of weather.☀️🌧️⚡️

Mandy is ordering this for her backyard because it works well with every one of her kids ages. Both her 10 year old and 2 year old can play simultaneously with zero issues on size or scale.🙏🏼

This exact model is currently on sale on Amazon so we wanna share it with you..✨ #toytestingsisters

NEW RELEASE from Step2 and we are so excited to share about it. This new water take has umbrella misters, all the accessories you know and love, and an extra deep water basin for added play value.💦

We love sharing the newest toy releases and love sharing them with YOU!#toytestingsisters @thestep2company

Here’s your reminder to take your Hot Wheels outside. We use BluTrack, flexible track, and Hot Wheels track inside, but taking it outdoors creates a whole new kind of play. I got these Hot Wheels track clamps, and they make building awesome runs so much easier. Add some mud and scrubbing tools, and you’ve turned it into a car wash.

I am obsessed with this glow pong set from Target. So much better than cornhole. Plus, the glow feature adds an extra element of fun. You won’t find me going to bed when the sun goes down.🥰

This show was my childhood so ofc I had to make a scooter accessory version.🤣👏 All my favorites from Amazon & @microkickboard #toytestingsisters

I get asked about mud kitchens all the time, and honestly, there still isn’t a great budget-friendly option out there. So I created one with what’s available right now that checks the boxes kids actually care about.

After 4 years with our mud kitchen, I’ve learned this: kids do not care if it looks like a kitchen. They care about 3 things:

• Access to water
• Plenty of space to create
• Fun accessories to play with

My dream mud kitchen would be made of plastic, include a water feature, have plenty of surface space, and allow for play around the entire perimeter. Durable, easy to clean, and built for real play.

I found this sensory table for under $100, added storage, and drilled in a water feature with an electric pump. I also sprayed it with a water sealer to help, but wood can be tricky long term.

Mud kitchens aren’t just for toddlers. Big kids want to play too, they just need the space to do it.

If you’re shopping right now, skip the tiny overpriced setups and think bigger.

These are the toys my babies always come back to.😍 #fatbraintoyspartner

We’ve owned some of these for YEARS, and I love that they’re not just fun they’re actually building real skills through play.

Fine motor, coordination, problem solving all happening without forcing anything

And they hold up through multiple kids which matters so much to me

If you’re trying to be more intentional with what you’re bringing into your home these are such a good place to start.

This is the only recirculating water table on the market and if you wait…there’s a good chance they’ll sell out again!😅 #toytestingsisters

We’ve tested thousands of toys over the years…so when we say these are the BEST outdoor toys, we mean it.

These are the ones that actually get used in our house—by everyone. From babies and toddlers to big kids…even the adults get in on these 😅

If you’re tired of wasting money on toys that get played with once and forgotten, you’re in the right place. We only share the ones that last, get played with on repeat, and are actually worth it.

This is your go-to spot for toys for every age (0–adult).
Follow along for the good stuff 🤍

I’m in that stage of life where I just need a stroller I can throw in the car, not think about, and grab in seconds. I have older kids, so I don’t need anything big or bulky anymore. My toddler is a runner, so sometimes I just need a quick way to keep her contained…especially during those shopping returns.

This one has been a game changer. It’s only 9 lbs, takes up barely any space, and folds down so fast. It has just enough storage for the essentials, and I was honestly surprised by how stable it is…it doesn’t tip over.

It’s perfect for those quick trips when you need to contain a kid, and it even fits in an airplane cabin 🙌

It’s officially time to start buying pool toys!😎

I thought I’d share with you a few of the toys I’ve been able to keep around for 3 summers now! Traditional pool toys that have really lasted us. Plus a few poolside favorites. #toytestingsisters

$4.37 for my FAVORITE toddler entertainment activity on the go! Runnnn for this deal because I just ordered 10..🤣🤩 #toytestingsisters

Went to Disney to buy all the toys! Here’s what I left with and some of the items I regret not buying now!

We found a movement toy the kids are OBSESSED with and I had to share because it’s actually insanely affordable.🤑

This is the Monkey Jump Jr and it has been the best way to get energy out at our house. The kids climb, bounce, spin, and play on it together for so long.

What I love most
• multiple kids can play at once
• great for toddlers AND big kids
• super easy setup
• under $200

If you’ve been looking for a movement toy for kids, something for high energy kids, or a backyard toy that actually gets used, this one is such a good option.

My kids immediately knew what it reminded them of… and let’s just say moms will understand why I’m excited about the price. 😅

It’s the concept of investing deeply in this we already love instead of thinking wide. These magnetic sets from Noriter board expand every day play. The quality of these magnets is INSANE. They are handmade, beautiful, and follow your child through every stage.🤩 This is your sign to invest in quality TOYS! #toytestingsisters

I previewed Barbie YOU CREATE at NY Toy Fair last year, and now it’s finally mainstream. You can grab it at Target.🎯

Three kits, each with interchangeable heads, four outfits, two pairs of shoes, and six accessories for endless mix-and-match looks.👯‍♀️

#YouCreateBarbieBasics

VALENTINES is right around the corner SOOO…I wanted to round up some unique favorites you could surprise your kiddos with for VDAY!💞 #toytestingsisters APPROVED!🤩

✨leave any comment and I’ll send you the deets.✨

Movement toys are such a game-changer for kids. Active toys encourage gross motor skills, body awareness, and confidence while still feeling like pure fun. This punching bag checks all the boxes and yes, it’s just as fun for adults too.🥊🥊

This laser tag set is one of our favorite active movement toys and an easy family toy win. It’s a 4-player game with vests that detect hits on the front and back, works for a wide range of ages, and can be played inside or outside. You can also add on additional sets so more players can jump in. This is one of those toys where quality really matters, and the quality on this set is excellent.

All the credit for finding and recommending this laser tag toy goes to @loveplaygrownj

The most beautiful addition to our Stapelstein Elements. A balance board from Maple Play.😍

Barnes and Noble sells….TOYS?🤩 Take a look at my picks. #toytestingsisters

Crash clouds are weirdly hard to find in stock, but this one has been so good. We just added it to our toy room and it has a ton of cushion without breaking the bank. It’s perfect for active movement play, burning energy indoors, and not stealing couch cushions every day. ☁️This is the gray 48x48☁️
