Have I got the best summer project for you over on Design Mom! It’s a tricycle car wash made of PVC pipe and it’s provided hours and hours of fun!
It’s like water heaven for the little ones.
I had never worked with PVC before and was nervous so I begged my friends to help. Food and libations are a good bargaining tool. :) Thank you so much Gs, Cs and Ks!!
It was a hot afternoon while we worked so when MJ forced me through the water, it was felt great! I went back through a few times, dragging each of my children with me.
We have turned on the car wash almost every day since we assembled it and keep inviting friends over to play!
Head on over to Design Mom for the full tricycle car wash tutorial with printable directions!
Oh my goodness you are TOO CUTE!!!!!!! I love this
Thank you!! It is so very fun!
Hi there!
Design mom website isn’t working. Is there somewhere else we can get the instructions?
I’d love to build this for my son’s birthday!
Thank you!
Thank you Tan!
That turned out AWESOME Amy! Does this mean that Sweet J is liking the water better these days?
What?! This is the absolute cutest!
Thanks Chelsea!!
This is fantastic!
(We’re on water restrictions because we’re in a drought, but I think think we can get away with watering the lawn AND washing trikes all at the same time!)
I’ve been meaning to check out your post on Design Mom all week! Finally got to it. So fun! I’m hoping my little guy gets over his fear of showers/sprinklers soon so we can make one of these someday.
Haha! Sweet J is nervous of water in the lake/pool form but the sprinkled water he is okay with.
Good post. This tricycle car wash seems like it was a fun project for the whole family. Thanks for posting.
It is so much fun! I keep wishing I was little again so I could run through it with abandon like they do. Haha!
What size pool noodles did you use for the tricycle car wash? Thanks
I didn’t know there were various sizes, Lori! I used a regular, common noodle. However, I think any noodle with a hole down the center will work.
This is a cute idea. I can see how kids would love keeping their outdoor toys clean while keeping cool in the summer heat. Thanks for sharing it.
wow, what a wonderful post. the pictures are adorable, and the message you are passing along is very clear.
my kids love this …
