A pull-back water cannon in unicorn, frog and duck shapes. There is no trigger and no battery — you dunk the nozzle, pull the handle to draw water in, then push to fire, which is simple enough for small children to work out on the first try.

The wide barrel holds a decent charge, so there is less running back to the bucket and more actual water fight.

• Pull-back piston action, no batteries needed

• Unicorn, frog and yellow duck designs

• Lightweight moulded plastic, easy for small hands to aim

• For pools, gardens, beaches and summer parties

• Ages 3 and up — small parts, not for children under 3
