Last weekend we made an outdoor waterbed. We used plastic sheeting and duct tape to hold everything together and just filled it up with water. For L it was a short lived thrill but he absolutely loved it while it lasted. He liked to run and stomp across it and my husband and I would take turns running across it with him.
It was an excellent way for everyone to cool off on a hot day without getting wet! My husband and I really enjoyed it as well!
L really had the most fun hitting and stomping on the waterbed and making waves! I got down with him and made some waves myself too. :)
This was an excellent sensory activity and I feel pretty confident that we'll be repeating it throughout the summer!
