Leave the wall up for the whole summer. It becomes the go-to when they're hot and bored, with zero setup next time.
Younger kids: Keep the wall low so they can reach the top to pour.
Older kids: Let them design the layout and test which path gets the water down fastest.
⚠ Safety Stay within arm's reach of under-5s around any water, even a bucket. Empty buckets and paddling pools straight after play. Cut bottle edges can be sharp; tape them.
