water play for spring

With the weather warming up here, it’s a great time to get the little ones outside and soaking up some fresh air and sunshine.

Here are some fab ideas to get you started, just in case you are having trouble coming out of hibernation.

OK, so this home made kids car wash is the deluxe end of DYI but we have lots of easier projects too.  All you need for this one is some chalk, a spray bottle of water and a suitable surface.  Chalk keeps my kids entertained for hours.

These water walls are both fun to make and use.  You can find the tutorial for the first one here.  Such a cool way to explore with water!

And last but not least (because these two are the absolute easy peasiest ideas you will find!), these recycled milk or drink bottles will keep little ones happy AND they can help water the garden for you.  Everyone’s a winner!

Whatever you do this weekend, soak up Spring (or Autumn for our northern hemisphere friends) and enjoy. x

  1. We had our first day of water play last weekend and our boys loved it! We had 2 largeish storage tub and one childrens size wheelbarrow and half filled them with water. The kids grabbed whatever toys they felt like playing with and splashed about for ages. Cheapest play time ever!!!
    This gives me some great ideas though – I’m going to go pull the plastic bottles back out of the recycling!!
