Summer is officially just around the corner, and we’ll be the first to say the season has its perks — the long days, the more relaxed schedule, the (hopefully) upcoming vacation. But it’s also hot out there, meaning we’re relying on our AC units and high-powered fans to keep us cool (and sane).
Another very helpful summer product to consider investing in? Pools and sprinklers. And no, you don’t have to install a full-blown below-ground pool to get the benefits of summer water play.
Here are 8 fantastic pools and sprinklers sold at Target to keep you and the whole family cool all summer long.
