Make your own kids tricycle wash with pvc pipes

Every time we are out and "J" sees a car wash he wants to take the car in for a wash. So I saw this idea on Pinterest to make a car wash out of pvc pipes.


So I took "J" to Home Depot and we got all the materials that were needed for this project.

Guy at Home Depot measuring the 10 ft pvc pipes to cut in half.

20 connectors.....10 of each  above they are 1/2 in.

Pieces connected together

Have to say it was pretty easy to put together and "J" was all into connecting the pieces together. Can't say I was too sure that it would work, but it did. Love when projects come through.

Materials:
5...10ft 1/2in pvc pipes we had the guy at Home Depot cut them in half
2 different connector pieces (can see in picture above)
Sponges from around the house and grabbed some from Dollar Tree
Pool Noodles as side bumpers.
3/4 hose connector as well and we used duct tape to connect it to the 1/2 pvc pipe(can see in picture)
Drill...to drill holes in the pvc.
"C" loved it more than "J" did. All "J" did was want to put it together. Then we took it out when their cousins came to stay for a couple days and "J" loved to play in it. So guess it all depends on the mood.

It works as a great sprinkler then when you are done take it apart store it and then place together again.

Total cost was about $28. which is what you would pay for the plastic summer toys and this can be used for other projects later.

"C" loved getting wet

Water Wall fun

We got a set from Lakeshore Learning that was colored piping and you pour water in it and the water runs thru. J and C loves playing with them so I thought a water wall would be fun to make.

So the kids and I took a trip to Home Depot and got peg board and cable ties. The peg board will have to be cut it is one big sheet for $18., so I had the guy cut the board into 3 pieces no set size.

Then when we got home we gathered things around the house to make our water wall. We used different size funnels, some of the plastic piping and some recycled containers.

Then we used the cable ties and tied them to the board. Remember when you are doing the lining up to make sure the water will drip.

Materials:

Peg Board $18. for large sheet and can make 2-3 water wall out of it.

Cable ties $1. (pack pf 25 at Dollar Tree)

Funnels $1. each

Recycled bottles free

We also added some more color to our wall and added some hand prints and sponge painted.

Home Depot........FREE

1st Saturday of every month Home Depot does a free make and take project for the kids. They say ages 5-12 years old, but we took our 2 today and they are 3 and 19 months and both got to make a planter. There was other preschool aged kids as well.

Was alot of fun, my son was so excited and that gave him an apron and for every project you make they give you a pin to place on your apron. Very cool.

This one is my favorite of C.....she was trying to make her own handprints on the wood.

J was so proud of his planter.
