Hackszine.com: KidWash sprinkler toy

KidWash sprinkler toy

Just because it's hot doesn't mean the kids have to stay indoors in the A/C. There are a number of worthwhile summer projects, but the KidWash looks like it has a particularly high fun/effort ratio. A trip to the hardware store for some PVC and mister jets and you can give the Wii a run for its money next weekend.

I headed down to the PVC section of the local home improvement store to pick up supplies. While browsing the adjacent sections for interesting stuff I noticed the micro-irrigation section and inspiration struck: KidWash with mister jets!
The modification worked great. We turned it on and kids from up and down the block started showing up to help with the testing. It's a lot of fun on foot, but my kids also get a blast out of riding their bikes through it.

This would be great to combine with a DIY visqueen slip and slide.

Good Clean Cool Fun

This is awesome! I wish I had thought of it.

Anyone who wants to complain about it being a waste of water needs to check their own ecological footprint before posting. Those of you with 100% sustainable lifestyles, feel free to rip it.
