Garant Kids Garden Hose
To you, the garden hose is a guilty reminder of ignored tasks (lawn watering, car washing, etc.) But to kids, it may be a fire hose, a dragon slayer, a waterfall and so much more. Bring on the pressure with this 25-inch hose and handle made just for them so you can blow off a little stream together. It's also non-toxic and phthalate-free. Ages four and up. ($9.99, where to buy)
