Bucket List Update: Backyard Water Mattress

This activity was not on the original bucket list, but I saw it online and had to try it. It was not difficult to make, but did take about 45 minutes to construct. Plus some additional duct tape because I am not a skilled duct taper. Anyhow, once it was filled and all holes fixed the kids had a great time playing!



 

 

 

If you want to make this all you need is:

 

1. Plastic painters drop cloths

 

2. Duct tape (I needed 2 rolls)

 

3. Water

 

What to do:

 

1. Unfold or roll 4 drop cloths

2. Put 2 cloths together on top each other to make them double thick

3. Tape them together and do the same to the other 2 cloths

4. Put the 2 newly taped sides on top of each other and tape them together, but leave a hole on one corner.

5. Insert hose in the opening and fill with water.

6. Tape the hole closed.

7. ENJOY!
