We never had much luck with the cute kid themed sprinklers. Maybe we didn’t have enough water pressure to make them work properly. We usually had the best luck with the plain old back and forth yard sprinkler.
Same as Julie. The fun sprinklers never worked as the commercials/ads. Get a yard sprinkler for the hose that spins or the rainbow one that goes over from back to front. So much fun.
I bought the H2OGO! Dinomite Kids Inflatable Sprinkler last spring. My boys loved it and since I'm lazy and it was under $20 I left it out in the yard all winter. Surprisingly it still works great!
