The steps below follow the order of the work for this kids project.
Hot, summer weather and cool, fresh water is a striking combination. But instead of packing up for the pool or beach every single day this summer, why not create a watery oasis in your own backyard? Forget the inflatable pool and create one of these five Handmade sprinklers!
1. MYO Sprinkler
This is a direct sprinkler that you set on the ground and it’ll shoot up water. It’s well fitted for younger kids and even crawling babies. If you’re new to handling PVC pipes and want a direct Handmade sprinkler to start with, you’ll like this walkthrough!
2. Fun PVC Sprinkler
Want a sprinkler that stands up so your kids can run or bike through it? This is a nice walkthrough for a standing sprinkler that also uses PVC pipes. For less than $15 and only 30 minutes of Handmade sweat, the results look pretty great.
3. Handmade PVC Pipe Sprinkler
This is another PVC pipe sprinkler, but it’s bigger and badder than the previous two. If you have a couple of children or if you’re hosting a party for kids, you’ll love this walkthrough. Amee, who made this Handmade sprinkler, also suggests that you put down a slip ‘n’ slide underneath the sprinkler. That sounds like so much fun.
4. Kids’ Car Wash Sprinkler
What kid doesn’t like to ride in the car when it goes through a car wash? Create a car wash for your children with this Handmade sprinkler walkthrough and have them ride their bikes through it! Use mop heads and sponges and anything else that could resemble a car wash and let your kids wash their bikes over and over again!
5. Backyard Sprinkler Park
This backyard sprinkler park is memorable. You just have to see this. You’ll find several different options for Handmade sprinklers using PVC pipes, foam noodles, and spray paint. There’s a dumping bucket sprinkler, a dueling noodles sprinkler, a flower shower sprinkler, and a tunnel sprinkler. Wow.
Now you’re all set to beat the heat this summer! Which one of these 5 Handmade sprinklers do you like the best? Will you make one of them? I’m leaning towards the first one, since I have a crawling baby these days. What about you?
