Manic Monday-- Super Sprinkler.


Keep the kids busy all day by making a sprinkler from a fun noodle.

SUPER SPRINKLER
Who says pool noodles are only for the pool? We turned one into a super squirter that can be used to launch all sorts of fun and games, such as the High Water Jump shown here.

Start by poking holes in a pool noodle with a large nail. Plug one end of the noodle with a wadded-up plastic shopping bag, then seal that end with duct tape. Insert a garden hose about 4 inches into the other end and secure it with duct tape if needed.

To play, swing the noodle and have your child jump over it, use it for a watery limbo contest, attach it with duct tape to a swing set so that kids can swing through the shower (as shown above), or let your kids come up with their own wet and wacky games.

Oh, that is very cool... especially for us people without a pool.

Can't wait to try it, SJ will LOVE it.
