Best handheld water games for boys and girls. Long before digital games became popular, these classic games would entertain kids for hours. Even today, these are great options for kids, in case you’re really worried that your kids are spending more time on mobile phones, playing games.
Can be enjoyed by adults too
These retro handheld water games can even be enjoyed by adults (am sure you would have played these handheld water ring toss games in your childhood days), every time they take short breaks throughout the day.
Features
In terms of features, the design is simple, although I also found it elegant to look at.
There is a container filled with water, and usually there are small balls or rings that you are supposed to move from one place to another, toss them over certain things, catch them, or move them inside certain things.
This is the basic concept, although there are lots of variations.
The handheld toy could be design in the shape of a phone, or a gaming console, to give it the feel of a video game. It has two buttons, which you press to propel the rings/balls in the water, you may then tilt the hand-held toy to make the rings reach the desired destination.
More uses
Personally, I feel these are great for building concentration and focus, especially in kids. It’s also quite portable; just carry it along wherever you go.
These hand-held water toy games are also quite inexpensive and make for great gifting options, especially as return gifts for your child’s’ friends.
