Who remembers setting up a Slip’n Slide in your backyard on a hot summer day? I have distinct memories of attaching our hose to the plastic mat, running barefoot and trying to slide as far as we could on our stomachs down the slick yellow runway. I would inevitably be frustrated by the pieces of grass that would end up sticking to the mat. However, it was a small price to pay for the ability to cool down on a water slide without owning a pool!
Well, I am pleased to report that the Slip’n Slide lives on and is now available through Winning Moves.
The part I do not recall about the Slip’n Slide is the numerous directions and warnings associated with it. According to the box, the slide is 19 feet long, but is to be used with a ten feet safety area before and after the slide. The directions also warn that it is only to be used by children 5-12 years of age that are under five feet tall and weigh under 110 pounds. Since those requirements disqualifiy everyone in my family, I thought it best not to post pictures of any of us actually using the Slip’n Slide. Safety first!
The Wham-O Retro Slip’n Slide delivers all of the fun of the original and is sure to make memories for the next generation.

I have used a Slip’n Slide before and it was so much fun.
Yes, I had one as a child.
Yes. Summer heat buster.
Yes! OMG! We had one when I was a kid that we put on the tractor incline to our barn. It was way too steep and too long a hill for our slip n slide! We’d whiz down the hill then run out of track and slide the rest of the way down in the mud! Hit a few rocks over the years that we were sure sorry for, but it never stopped us!
Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun! Great memories, for sure!
When I was younger, it was fun!
