Today's post is part of an article I wrong a couple of years ago. I hope you can use this idea in your life and add lots of giggles while doing it. If you want to see the complete article, there is a link at the bottom of the post.
Make Your Own Water Park
Kids are the best at having fun with a water hose and a piece of plastic. A slippy slide isn't expensive but it's small and when you have multiple children all wanting to use it at once, it can become a fight to the finish as to who gets to slide first or more often.
I spent about fifteen dollars on a large [12 feet x 25 feet] sheet of plastic. I cut it in half, making two 6 feet by 25 feet pieces. I found a small downhill incline in my yard and laid it plastic on it. First checking for rocks, sticks or anything that might cut through the plastic.
At the top of the incline I placed the water hose, releasing enough water to form a stead stream. You will want to wet the plastic completely before trying it out. The child has to be able to slide smoothly down the hill.
If for some reason your plastic isn't smooth enough to allow sliding, mix a small amount of dish washing soap in the flowing water, spreading it with your hand or a clean mop. Don't worry about the grass as a small amount of soap will not hurt it. Remember to move the plastic every couple days, so it will not damage the grass from wear and tear of the children.
When all is smooth and slippery stand back and watch the fun begin. Go on mom and dad join in, take a dive!
