Now that the heat is squeezing, what better than to organize a water party ? Simple and refreshing so that high temperatures can not with us. You can celebrate it in a lake, a river and even the beach, but also in your own home. With this article, learn to prepare a water party with which you will surely have a lot of fun.

Invitations

Create some fun and refreshing invitations to distribute among all the friends you want to attend your big party!

To give them that summery touch it is enough that you put some nice aquatic animals or elements such as balls or umbrellas and that there is no lack of water in the design!

Tell your friends to come with bathing suits, towels and water shoes. You can even add some details along with the invitation such as a small water pistol, water balloons, octopus candies, etc.

Water pool

If you have a garden or a large terrace, the key element of the party will be the water pool . It can be inflatable if you do not have a work. You can also rent it in specialized stores and there is even the possibility of renting not only the pool but also a space reserved for parties.

Try to make it big enough for all the party guests to fit in and to be able to play games on it, since it will be the center of the games. It's worth it, it's ... Pure fun!

Water games

Something very fun in this type of parties is to do a water battle. For this you will need to make a fort with sand, buckets or look for plants and trees where you can hide and take your weapons: water pistols and water balloons .

Children have a great time with this game and in the process they cool off a bit. You can also put some small fish in the pool and have the children catch them with net rods and then throw them back in the water. So they have fun fishing and also learn to care for animals.

You can also opt to organize a game of volleyball or basketball in the pool. This will keep them entertained for a while and they will learn to play as a team.

A little bit of sand

If you can get some sand to simulate a perfect little coastal area. You put it near the water and fill it with toys like cubes, shovels, molds ... with which the children can be distracted and have fun.

It's like having the beach in your own home !

Sunscreen

As water parties are usually done in areas where the sun touches it is very important to remember that you will need to protect children from the harmful effects of the sun, so it is essential to consider how to choose the right sunscreen. As you have to put on the cream half an hour before sunbathing, I always recommend that when giving the invitations we indicate that the guests should wear protective clothing before coming to the party, as well as it would be good if they also brought sunglasses.

Then we should go putting cream every hour. Do not forget!

Decor

If you have a little trace with the balloons it would be very good to make marine figures such as octopus, fish, starfish, etc. And you can even encourage the little ones to sign up to make some simple figure with you.

You can also make fun palm trees to put around the garden. It's a matter of letting the imagination fly and creating a new world only with balloons.

Food and drink

Surely the little ones get hungry from playing so much, so prepare delicious fresh and healthy dishes with fruit, ice cream, natural juices of all flavors. You can not miss the water to drink between games and games to avoid dehydration of children.

Another option is to prepare a delicious barbecue with sausages and hamburgers, preferably if they are vegan and accompanied by fruit. The frozen yogurts always have a good reception so you could include them as dessert.

Cake

The summer cakes are simple to make, you can make one in a round shape like a water balloon, square like a pool of water or shaped like a starfish.

Although you can always work a little more and get really extraordinary forms. If you put a little more art on it and try to make an octopus. You dare?

Music

It's time for the dance, turn on the music and let the children dance under the jets of water from the sprinklers or hoses. Look for fun, cheerful and lively music that invites them to move and enjoy.

It can also be used to make games in which you have to jump over the water jets or have to turn around the sprinkler to the music and without touching the water and whoever touches you, you will have to take a dip in the water. psychina
