Transform Your Kid's Water Table with This Easy Upgrade!
Easy and Fun Water Table Upgrade for Summer Fun
Are you looking for the quickest, simplest, but very satisfying upgrade to your child's water table? Keep reading because this is going to be amazing for your little ones this summer!
The Inspiration
I saw an ingenious idea where someone added a water pump to the top of their water table to create a constant rain effect as kids played. Intrigued, I decided to try it myself. After a quick search on Amazon, I found an affordable pump on sale that would do the trick.
Materials Needed
Water pump (found on Amazon)
Handheld drill
Drill bit (appropriate size for your water pump's tube diameter - I believe I used a 1/4 inch)
Step-by-Step Guide to Upgrading Your Water Table
Gather Your Supplies: Ensure you have your water pump, drill, and drill bit ready.
Prepare the Water Table: Identify the area where you want to attach the water pump. I chose the side that already had a hole to drain.
Drill the Hole: Using a handheld drill and the appropriate drill bit, gently apply minimal pressure to create a hole. It was surprisingly easy and didn't require much force.
Attach the Water Pump: Insert the water pump tubing into the hole. You can choose to secure it permanently or keep it detachable for easy cleaning. I opted for a detachable setup so we could remove the pump when needed and the kids could use the table without it.
Benefits of This Upgrade
Enhanced Playtime: The constant rain effect adds a new layer of fun for the kids. They enjoy turning the pump on and off, creating their own mini rain showers. Plus side is if they break the pump it was cheap so I don’t have to stress over it.😅
Easy Maintenance: Since we often clean the water table, having a detachable pump makes the process hassle-free.
Affordable and Quick: This upgrade took minimal time and effort, yet it has provided endless entertainment.
Final Thoughts
Overall, this was a quick, easy fix that the kids absolutely love. If you're looking to add something fun and unique to your water table, this is a perfect summer upgrade. It’s a simple way to enhance outdoor playtime and keep your little ones engaged.
