Water Sprayers

Water Sprayers
Cool off and keep your yard watered with these
homemade water sprinklers!

Watering your garden or yard may feel like a chore at times.
But water is an important ingredient in your garden's success.
Try these sprinkler ideas on a hot day and have fun playing in the water!

CAUTION: These projects require adult supervision.

Water Hand

What You Will Need:

• Hose
• Old Rubber Glove
• Nail

What You Do:

• Poke holes in the fingertips of an old rubber glove, such as a dishwashing glove.
• Tie the cuff of the glove tightly over the end of a hose.
• Fasten the water hand to a stake so it sprays upright, or drape the hose over a tree branch to make a "handy" shower!

Tin-Can Shower

What You Will Need:

• Tin Can
• Nail
• Hammer
• String

What You Do:

• Use a nail to punch holes around the bottom edge of a large tin can.
• Punch two more holes at the top of the can and insert a string to hang the can from a branch.
• Fill the can with water. As water sprays out through the holes, the can will spin!

Kids love to dance around under the tin-can shower to cool off on a hot summer day — and your plants just might get watered, too!
