There's nothing that hits quite like the first day of summer. You can almost feel the shift of energy in the air as we slide into the summer solstice.

As if life with twins isn't already busy enough, when summer hits, we want to pack in as many sun-soaked memories as we can.

It's nice to get out and hit up different hot spots with the family, but it's also nice to be able to kick back at home and still have some summertime fun.

Here are some of the top toys that can help you slide into summer mode with your twins right in the comfort of your own backyard.

This sturdy water table is a great choice for people who have twins because it was engineered with a spacious design that allows for multiple children to play together without being cramped in tight quarters. Little ones can scoop water from the pond area and pour it into the waterfall tray, creating a rainshower effect with a realistic pitter-patter sound that mimics rainfall. They can also engage in cause-and-effect play by rearranging the various maze pieces over and over again to create new and different waterfalls. This fun table also incorporates a springboard they can use to flip little figures into the water. If you're looking for extra sun protection, the Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table is compatible with the range of kids' umbrellas available from Step2.

Voltz Toys 2 Seater Ride On Car 24v Electric Car For Kids Electrical Jeep With 2 Seats Leather Seat Full Led Lights Parental Remote Control And Mp3 Player Green

10. Two-Seater Electrical Ride-On Jeep by Voltz Toys

What Screams Summer More Than a Jeep?

This two-seater electrical jeep will provide hours of endless entertainment for kids and parents, alike. Rated for those aged three to eight years old, this ride-on vehicle is detailed with leather seats (with seat belts for safe riding), LED lights, an MP3 player that offers Bluetooth, AUX and USB interfaces, so they can blast the Paw Patrol theme song all day long, and a long-range 2.4GHz parental remote control that allows parents to override the manual drive controls, if needed, to stop the vehicle. Two powerful and durable motors allow the vehicle to get a maximum speed of three to five kilometres per hour (two to three miles per hour), and a reverse gear allows drivers (whether they're front-seat or back-seat drivers via the remote) to maneuver around with ease. The ride-on vehicle has a total weight capacity of 132 pounds and a battery life of 90 minutes . The tires of the jeep come with rubber strips, providing better grip, and the doors are fully functional, actually opening up to let your little ones climb aboard. Realistic features, like the soft start button, four-wheel independent suspension, and automatic electric brake system for gradual acceleration and reliable breaking, make it feel like they're driving just like their mom or dad. And for parents or caregivers, an integrated folding handlebar makes it easy to transfer the vehicle without relying on battery power.
