Continuing birthday weekend...I've been thinking about having my husband make this for the kids for a long time and this weekend seemed to be the perfect weekend to do so. The instructions can be found here: http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/the-deluxe-kid-wash-709166
We had much of the PVC pipe laying around already, and instead of using pretty fabric strips, I just hung strips of a bed cover sheet we weren't ever using. It didn't take him long to put it together, I think it may have a been less than an hour and the kids were ready to run through it! They had a great time, but in hindsight I think a big drawback was that they played in it for so long (maybe an hour or so) that afterward the grass underneath was swampy and torn up. This wouldn't be so much of a problem once we set it up out on the pavement driveway or sidewalk where I was planning on having them bike/scooter through (although now I'm really hoping the bikes don't rust up doing this.)
It was definitely a fun project that was inexpensive and easy to carry out - looking forward to having our kids friends over to try it out, also :)
