Spray Bottle vs Water Gun

I got to spend some time recently with my best friend’s mom who used to run a day care. When I told her about the fact my boys were given water guns she explained how she learned to buy cheap spray bottles instead because…

• They don’t run out of water as quickly, meaning you have to refill them a lot less often
• They cool kids off faster
• Younger kids are able to squeeze the trigger much easier than on a water gun
• They tend to last longer (one of our water guns has already died)

Brilliant, no?! Those water guns are nearly impossible to refill, especially for children so I think next time I’m on the lookout for something to cool off during the summer, I will get some dollar store spray bottles and let my kids have at it.

I’ll be linking up at Works for Me Wednesday.
