Do you know what toys YOUR kids would like the best this summer? No, not a baseball, not a skateboard, but... can you guess? Yes, Water Toys!

According to a recent survey conducted for Playthings Magazine, Water Toys are one of the most highly sought after summer toys, beating other outdoor sports, games and toys. Interestingly enough, I was writing a new article called Water Toys For Your Kids when I came across this piece of news! I have handpicked some great water toys that your kids are sure to love this summer, you can read reviews and compare prices in the feature.

Among the other popular outdoor sports and activities were the more conventional outdoor activities.

According to Playthings Magazine,

"Among eight types of outdoor sports toys and equipment surveyed, water toys top the list of products kids most want to ask their parents to buy. A whopping 60 percent of kids say they "really want" water toys this summer, with only 12 percent of kids saying they’d rather ask for something else."

Its not surprising that kids love water toys so much, considering the amount of fun that kids have splishing and splashing around, and drenching their friends and themselves!

Closely on the heels of water toys were bicycles with 51% of the votes. If you're looking to get your kids a bike this summer, check out:

Scooters and rollerblades/skates were both vying for #3 position. Surprisingly, baseball was right at the bottom of the list.
