Daily Idea #332: Water Buckets

It’s getting warmer out which means pool and beach playtime! One way to stay cool in the summer heat when you don’t have access to a pool or the beach is to simply bring the water outside and to make it last. With this simple game, the kids will take a while playing outside and getting soaked at the same time.

All you need is two buckets (one full of water) and a few large sponges. The idea is to transfer the water from one bucket to the other with the sponges. Space the buckets a distance apart from each other; starting at the first bucket dip those sponges in the water, get them to the second bucket, and squeeze out all that water!
