Summer and water play

Pools, floats, water guns, sand and water tables, beach chairs and the sun toys that come out in May and stay out until October. Swimbobo and Intex make up most of the inflatables, with water blasters and sand play alongside them.

The Lebanese summer is long, which makes this a season rather than a novelty. A pool or a sand and water table on a balcony gets used most days for four months.

Brands in this category: Swimbobo, Mideer, Intex, Kinetic sand and B-Toys.

How to choose

For inflatables, check the size against the space before you check the price. A pool play centre needs a flat area and somewhere for the water to go. Smaller floats and rings are the safer buy for a family that travels to the beach rather than filling something at home.

Water guns divide sharply by capacity. A backpack tank holds enough for a long game without refilling, while a small squirt toy is a pocket toy for the car. Nothing in this section is a substitute for an adult watching the water.

Questions and answers

What size pool should I buy for a balcony?

Measure first. Check the pool size on the product page against a flat part of the balcony, and think about where the water goes when you empty it. A small toddler pool suits most balconies, while larger play centres need a garden or a roof. Intex and Swimbobo make most of the inflatables here, and the section holds 57 summer products.

Which swim floats suit young children?

Baby floats, seat floats and swim rings from Swimbobo cover the youngest swimmers. The age on each product page comes from the maker or from the shop’s own listing. Choose by that age first, then by where the child swims. No float replaces an adult in the water or right beside it, so treat every float as a toy and never as a way to leave a child alone near water.

When is the season for summer toys in Lebanon?

Roughly May to October. The long summer means a pool or a sand and water table on a balcony gets used most days for months, so it is worth buying early rather than in August. Water guns, sand toys and beach chairs sit alongside the pools, and prices in this section run from $3 to $225.
