Are you tired of buying sprinklers for $15 or $20 for them to only last one season. Either they stop their swaying movement or the plastic breaks. Not to mention, aren't you tired of saying, "PUT THE SPRINKLER DOWN!!" I know I am.
Here is my solution: a bit of duct tape, a thumb tack, and a gatorade bottle from the dollar store.
Instant sprinkler that they can be as rough on as they want. When they finally turned the water pressure up it was a lesson in water powered rocketry :)
Then add soap and your bath time commitment has been full filled :p I'm joking. They found my soap bottle for washing the dogs and had another thirty minutes of fun playing with the bubbles.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the cheap sprinkler idea. I wish I'd done it before! You just use a thumb tack to make a line of holes down one side. Don't be tempted to make them larger, thumb tack is all you need. Be generous with the duct tape though.
What are your favorite cheap summer time killers?
