4. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Taffy Turtle Catch and Hatch Pool Game
Each plastic egg in this cute Sunny Patch Turtle pool-play set fits one baby turtle inside. You can toss them in the pool (or bathtub), then gather them up to “hatch”.

The set includes play ideas for activities in and out of the pool.
5. Stearns Puddle Jumper Basic Life Jacket
No ‘best pool toys’ list would be complete without water wings to keep your toddler safe in the water.
OK, so maybe this isn’t exactly a toy…but the Stearns Life Jacket is a best-seller, and it’s a US Coast Guard-approved life jacket for kids 30-50 pounds.
Plus, the fun design makes kids happy, while keeping them safe.
