Colorful and cheery Sunny Patch toys take cool-off play to new levels both on and under the water. In the shallow end, hop a ride on the shark kickboard or play a game with floating foam pieces (including a spinner!). More confident swimmers can dive for sunken treasure or scoop up unsuspecting plastic fish with the claw catcher. Ages 3 and up. Melissa and Doug, $4 to $25.
