Blog | June 23rd, 2022


There’s one thing the kids of yesterday and young ones of today all have in common and that is the end of school joy! Do you remember when the chill of winter blossomed into the first warm days which meant summer was approaching? It almost felt like Christmas Eve was popping up again at the beginning of summer, filled with overwhelming, uncontainable excitement!


However, and yes, there is a “but“…after a few days or if you’re lucky, weeks of nothing to do, boredom sets in big time. Maybe you have a vacation planned and your funds are tied up there or your bank account is empty from last year’s school activities. Rising costs make filling the gap and keeping kids busy quite a task…unless you can find items for $15 or less to keep kids of all ages entertained.

Thank you, Amazon and here we come to gather 10 items under fifteen dollars that will keep kids of all ages happy and having fun this summer! Note: Amazon’s prices may fluctuate. The price of items on this list was under $15 at time of publishing.

Oscillating Fan Sprinkler


Continuing with the water theme, nostalgia combines with function in this oscillating fan-style sprinkler. Decades ago, dad could water the lawn while the kids had their own mini water park.
