Water activity for kids

You will need to cut the PVC pipe to the following sizes (I wrote size on each piece so we could take it apart at the end of the season and build it again!).

  • 22x 30” long
  • 1x 5 feet long
  • 4x 3 feet long
  • 2x 1 feet long
  • 3x 6” long

Drill holes for the water to come out! You can do this however you like. We drilled 15 holes (all in a row) each in two of the 3 foot pieces, 3 holes on two of the 30” pieces, and 3 holes in two of the caps.
