Playground Pool

This colorful, inflatable, rugged vinyl pool gives you four different activities in one. In one corner of the 90-by-90-inch pool, kids can slide down a gentle water slide, using tough rubber handles at the top to steady themselves. Right next to the slide, they can pick up a game of water hoops with two plastic balls that pop into a kid-size inflatable basket. Diagonally across from the slide, blow-up walls cordon off a separate square wading pool that is perfect for tots you want to keep a close eye on. But the pool's neatest feature (which will no doubt get lots of attention) hooks right up to your garden hose: it's a 2-foot-tall palm tree that sprays a shower onto the pool's giggling inhabitants. --Paul Hughes
