On a hot summer day, sometimes all you need is a bucket of water, a few friends, and a healthy dose of imagination. And that adventure starts at Juffrouw Pollewop. At this toy store, you’ll find original play ideas: from water shooters to splash balls. This summer’s big favorite is the reusable water balloons. “You simply fill them in a bucket, snap them shut with a little magnet, and you’re ready to keep playing right away,” says Mette Korteland.
Have you gathered your water balloons, water guns, and buckets? Then the Kloostertuin is the perfect spot for a refreshing water fight. Round up a group of friends and let the battle begin!
Sand between your toes, a view of the water, and plenty of space to play. You don’t have to leave Dordrecht to experience that real beach feeling. At the Tongplaat, kids can build with sand, play by the water’s edge, and spend hours outdoors.
Bring a picnic blanket, gather some shovels and buckets, and enjoy a relaxing day with the whole family. While the kids go on an adventure, parents can unwind in nature, looking out over the water. It’s a wonderful destination to get some fresh air on warm days and spend time together by the water.
