That is such a cool idea! Reminds me of an indoor ramp thing I saw using cut-up cereal boxes, but I know Mikko would get a kick out of playing with water outdoors.
Love it! Our water wall is sadly no longer (it was played with to death!) but I really want to get it up and running again next term. The kids are busy experimenting with tubes and pipes in the sandpit, so I would love to make some kind of tube / pipe / container wall with them. Thanks for the link love.
For the feature that tips, maybe try attaching a toy dump truck that you cut in half?
I’m currently working on a cardboard maple tree for the kids to tap and get “sap” running down a tube and into a bucket!
ooooooooooooh way cool! I want to come play with you!!
I remember making something similar when I was teaching that included bits of clear plastic tubing and rubber gloves with holes poked in the fingers!
this is such a great idea!! I might get my big girls onto the problem of ‘tipping’ and see what they can come up with – will get back to you if we work out a plan 🙂

Oooh, I so want a water wall. Tying it to the lattice is a fabulous idea. Christie-Childhood 101´s latest amazing offering ..Parenting Styles- Reactive or Proactive
I'm Deb, an ex-(paid)science teacher now a SAHM to two girls. I'm always looking for fun activities to do with my kids, so I thought I'd share them around.

Also, I have full sympathy for the kids-doing-things-with-you situation. 🙂

I love seeing water walls popping up!

What a good idea. I know I’ve got some somewhere, a good excuse to clean out the playroom.
