Answer 11

We really like the water squish mats - I got a big 10ft one she could crawl all over at the time, but they sell smaller round ones and some have stuff floating around inside (or just add glitter before plugging in the hose)

@herod I got this one which I can't seem to find available anymore, but if you just search water mat, or water blobz you should find a ton of shapes and sizes.
