Pool Toy Solution

When you have a pool, you need lots of "accessories". These come in the form of floats and foam noodles, and inflatables shaped like alligators, porpoises, and sharks.


These can be quite large and take up alot of room, especially when they have no "cage" to call their home. They tend to lay wherever they can, often on the very chairs that you want to sit on yourself.



Well, this week a brilliant idea came to my mind and one that would make our porch more clutter-free. The other great thing is that we did not have to spend any money. We used something we already had, something that had been disassembed and kept in storage for probably 6 years or more. We pulled it out and reassembled it and it worked perfectly! See.


Isn't that cool! Now, does anyone want to guess what this structure was used for before it became a home for our pool toys? I'll give you a hint. It was used with material draped over parts of it.

Um... this is hard! Maybe a... towel rack?

That's a good solution!

Abby :D

It will also be useful for hanging our towels on after swimming, but that's not what it was used for before.
Here's another clue.
It was used by Hannah.

How about for puppet performances or maybe gymnastics? Although it doesn't look strong enough to support a growing child's weight - maybe it is.

That is really cool how much more organized it looks! Great job!

You guessed it Meggan! It was a puppet theatre and Hannah also tried to do gymnastics on it, which is why we eventually put it in storage. She got too big for it to hold her.
Great job on a double correct answer! You get bonus points.
