Shark fin pool toy by Fin Fun

Scaring your friends: The best part of summer!

If you thought Michael Phelps racing a great white was the summer's biggest shark-in-a-pool news, that's because you haven't seen this hot water accessory yet. Yes. It's a wearable shark fin. We know our own aquaphiles will get themselves into a frenzy the second they see them, so be prepared if you've got a kid reading over your shoulder right now.

The shark fin pool toy by Fin Fun that our kids are dying for! | see more at mompicksprod.wpengine.com Just know the shark fins aren't flotation devices, they're scare-your-friends-in-the-pool devices, made with lightweight foamy material and adjustable straps to fit swimmers of all sizes. And hey, if your kids are more about mermaids than sharks, these are made by Fin Fun, the clever company behind those amazing mermaid tails that our kids love. But as I know from my own kids, not every kid wants to be a mermaid. Some kids want to be the thing that eats a mermaid. You can learn more about this cool shark fin pool toy by Fin Fun on their website.
