Our families water guns
I wont buy my children water guns or water bottles, to much waste in materials and water, but I did give them each an old bottle with a mister on it and an extra bottle of water. They then found their skate boards and chalk and played for hours creating a pathes. My oldest son held up his bottle to me and said, “This is what we get for water guns.” Then he went off to play.
Beginner Tip:
It can be hard to be different but by explaining your values and helping to find other ways to play, kids can still have fun.
