When the warm weather hits, nothing beats a little H2O. Take it back to basics, and let the littles entertain themselves with a bucket, a hose, a few toys and a lot of creativity. From making nature soup to muddy car washes and painting the pavement, here are 9 ways to make water work!

Give the family supply of DUPLOs (any plastic blocks will work) a refreshing dip, and watch your kids look at those colorful bricks in a whole new light.

You can see the rest of the setup, and game ideas over at The Simple Parent.
