Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose Sprinkler – Does It Work?

Susan Gunelius — Mon, 26 May 2008 03:16:22 +0000

Well, I fell victim to the cool picture on the package of the Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose sprinkler when I saw it on the shelf at Wal-Mart today. At just $16.95, I thought I’d give it a try for my triplets’ 4th birthday this summer.

Here’s my theory – my kids always bump into eachother using a traditional sprinkler, perhaps this one will allow them to spread out more and reduce sibling fights. I know, wishful thinking. I’m sure they’ll all group together in the same spot anyway.

I have to confess. I have a secondary motive for buying the Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose sprinkler. Since it spreads out over 12 feet with 15 sprinkler heads, I’m hoping I can water my backyard at the same time the kids are playing.

I’ll have to wait and see how my plan works. The triplets’ birthday isn’t for another month and a half. Has anyone else purchased the Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose sprinkler yet? What do you (and your kids) think of it?

Beach Blast Ball for Outdoor Water Fun

Check out the Beach Blast Ball that I found on the BabyCenter store today for children ages 3 and up. This toy costs $12.95 and is just 18″ in diameter. Once attached to a garden hose, the ball bounces and squirts water in all different directions. In fact, kids won’t know where it’s going to bounce or spray next making it different from a typical backyard sprinkler.

What do you think of this new version of a sprinkler? I have to wonder if it really works as well as it appears to in the picture.

Slip ‘N Slide the Summer Away!

Well, folks, we’re in the last few weeks of summer vacation. So, before the green leaves start changing into orange and red ones, and the tank tops are traded in for sweaters, let’s give those water toys their last moments of summer glory.

Our toy sprinkler decided it was finally done with our abuse and quit on us, and so we purchased a Nemo Slip ‘N Slide for the kids to play on. We put it up in my mom’s backyard, which has a very slight slope, and the inflated end of the toy made for a fun little pool for the kids to splash into at the end of their slide. It was kinda fun when I did it, too. And the kids thought that was hilarious. Come to think of it, so did my mom. Very different from the shower curtain and garden hose from my childhood memories!

BTW-We need just a few more votes. Have you voted in our poll in the right sidebar yet?
