YOU GUYS. My husband came up with this activity idea back during quarantine, and can I just say? It's pure genius. It's a little bit of an investment, but our kids have played with it over and over. If you're looking for a unique present to give, or are just desperate for a new hands on activity that will keep your kiddos engaged- look no further!
What You'll Need:
-PVC pipe
-PVC pipe cutters
-PVC pipe connectors
1: Purchase your PVC pipe and connectors. You can buy as much or as little as you want, depending on what you're going for.
2: Cut your PVC pipe into a bunch of different lengths. (Ours varied from about 2 inches to a foot!)
3: Pull out the cut PVC pipe and the connectors. Help your child put them together and build a creation!
*Activity Notes:
-I'm not a hundred percent sure how expensive this project is- we actually built our kids a playhouse out of PVC for Christmas one year and just had some leftovers/used the connectors from that project. For reference, a 3-way corner connector piece at Home Depot is 90 cents and a ten foot piece of PVC is about 10 dollars.
-Try making challenges for your kids! Tell them things like, "Build me a robot" of "Make a tower that's as tall as you". It seems when my kids have something they're working towards, they stay engaged for longer.
- Have them build a slide or a shoot! Get out some dried beans and see if they can make something that they can go down.
