ZOOM FLUME
Transform your ordinary backyard slide into a water park wonder by adding a steady trickle of H2O and a soft off-ramp that extends the ride.To make one, use duct tape to attach a garden hose to the top of the slide. Place camping pads (or other cushioning, such as lawn-chair pads) end to end on the ground at the bottom. Stretch an 8- by 10-foot or larger tarp across the pads and place tent stakes in the tarp's grommets to secure.
Note: Because water can make slides extremely slippery, parents should provide supervision to keep play safe.
