It is not often that the Oppenheimer Toy Awards fail me. This Grandma can usually find a wonderful award winning toy item on www.toyportfolio.com. It has to be the search. I wanted to find the best new pool floats for grandchildren, and tried many different terms to no avail. Fortunately, a summer Learning Express catalog came in the mail. www.learningexpress is a go to website to buy the Oppenheimer Toy award winning toys. I could not find any such “pool toys” at www.toyportfolio.com but Learning Express stepped in when I needed to find them.
Learning Express listed the top new summer pool floats for 2016. It even lists that they are “Skill Building: Riding atop the float promotes balance and coordination, as children climb on and center themselves upon the float. The float even promotes self-esteem by allowing children to approach the water at their own speed, floating at the surface or jumping all the way in.” We grandmas will look to any excuse to buy something for grandchildren and now we know to tell their parents how educational pool floats can be.
Here are Learning Express offerings and they are fun and adorable, especially for inexpensive summer visit presents:
This Grandma’s mantra, a grandma lesson on how to be the best grandma, is to serve pizza for breakfast. It hits all the food groups, and grandchildren love pizza in every form. They are sure to love this new pool float listed at $29.99 in the shape and colors of a pizza slice, five feet long for ages six and over.
This Grandma’s second mantra, a grandma lesson on how to be the best grandma, is to serve dessert first, before the meal, to grandchildren. It is amazing that grandchildren eat everything on their plates, if they are allowed to have a small dessert first. Here is a great dessert pool float, even with sprinkles, listed at $19.99, four feet for ages six and over.
For those chocolate lovers, it comes in chocolate too!
This float listed at $34.99 looks like a brightly rainbow colored flip flop, all of its five feet covered with emojis. It is listed as for ages six and over.
At four feet, and bright yellow, is the rubber duckie pool float, for ages six and over, listed at $29.99.
This Grandma loves pool noodles, and this one five feet long in the shape of Smarties candy, is for ages six and over, and listed at only $15.99.
If Grandma chooses this last float, then, of course, Smarties candies must accompany the gift. After all, spoiling is grandma
