Target’s recently released collection of pool rafts includes an assortment of whimsical shapes that will make any summer occasion even more colorful.

As scoped out by fan Instagram account @TargetDoesItAgain earlier in May, Sun Squad – a line exclusive to Target – launched a handful of floats that inflate to look like animals, including a pink and white llama, a blue narwhal complete with a rainbow horn and a tail, and a sloth that looks rather relaxed.

The rafts vary in price on Target’s website – the narwhal raft, which the website says is meant for babies, retails for $15, the llama-shaped raft retails for $15, and the sloth float retails for $20 at the time of writing.

If a zenned-out sloth isn't your thing, there are other unique pool rafts in Target's new collection.

For example, one float is shaped like a motorboat, and it includes a cooler compartment. It's available online for $40.

There are also floats that look like colorful pieces of fruit, such as this $15 watermelon raft; and nostalgic shapes like a cassette tape, which also retails for $15.
