These Highly-Rated Waterproof Playing Cards are Just $6.60 on Amazon (Great for Pool Days & Vacation)

“I bought some last year for the boat and they are great! They don’t come apart at the edges like normal cards and no worrying about spilling drinks or food on them.” – Hip2Save Reader GAmommyof4

These cards are already the hit of the summer! For $6, we have had so much fun, the kids are rocking their math and are getting a boatload of exercise.

Here are the two main ways we use them:
1️⃣  Throw some in the pool (they will sink unless sitting perfectly on top of the water) and have a race to get 10 hearts, all even numbers, numbers divisible by 3, etc.
2️⃣  Throw only the numbered cards (2-10) into the pool (you can do all numbered or only red or black, for example) and then have the kids race to bring back cards which make an equation to make a certain number. The kids absolutely love this!!! We also make rules like:
✅  your equation must be at least 3, 4 or 5 cards
✅ we exclude the 10s
✅  we exclude “double digits”… meaning you can only get one of each number. No 2×2, for example
✅  If I’m feeling like a softie, we’ll even include the Aces to use as ones. But that makes it soooo much easier so beware!

I love how you can tailor this to your child’s level. It has been so fun to see the equations they come back with. They literally beg for us to do this and I love how they are working on quick math recall…. and simple equations!
