Ride-Thru Water Sprinkler

This ride-thru sprinkler was made from around $11 in materials and a bit of ingenuity 

My son would have loved this when he was little so I am putting it on my projects list for in the future when I hope to have grandchildren.

Hooded Shark Towel

I spotted this clever Hooded Shark Towel  idea over at one of my favorite craft blogs  Dollar Store Crafts
and knew I wanted to put this on my future crafts list.   This would make be a fun present to make and give to child that loves sharks.

It is part of a "Shark Week" theme and is made using a large towel, 3 hand towels, a wash cloth and felt (I would use fleece instead as it would hold up better under repeated washings) and then sewn together.
