Ahhh pool noodles. You can use them for sooooo much! Including a bumper after you turn your crib into a toddler bed. Just get one of the thicker ones, put it under the fitted sheet of the bed on the outside, and it acts as a bumper. Great tip HOWEVER not what we’re here for.
You can turn the pool noodle into a sprinkler!
What you’ll need:
- 4 pool noodles
- duct tape
- string
- ice pick or skewer
- scissors
- hose
Directions:
- Choose the location where you can tie up the sprinkler once it is made. You will want a tree limb or poles that you can attach the sprinkler to with string/twine. The sprinkler will need to be attached about 6 feet from the ground. Before you add the water, the sprinkler should set about 6-8 inches above the ground, as the water weight will weigh the sprinkler down and let it set flush with the ground.
- Connect all 4 pool noodles, taping securely with duct tape. Make sure the tape is secure enough so you don’t have any leaks
- Poke holes, using a skewer, into the inside curved area of each noodle. You will get more spray if holes are concentrated facing the center of your sprinkler. Be sure to NOT poke through to the outside of the noodles.
- With scissors, or small knife, cut a small opening into the top of your sprinkler. Remember that the hose needs to fit snugly, so make the opening smaller than the end of the hose.
- Attach the sprinkler to tree limb or pole with string/ twine. Insert hose and tape securely in position.
- Turn on the hose and have a ton of fun!
