15 Creative Pool Noodle Activities For Kids
Pool Noodle activities are a great way to take a dollar store item and turn it into an amazing craft or project for your kids. I love the idea of using the pool noodle in a sensory bin, but of course, the kids prefer things like the sprinkler or the pirate raft. No matter what you decide to do, you’ll quickly find that these aren’t just for floating around in the community pool. Your favorite summer accessory is now a fun crafting project!

I’m seeing so many ideas of how to re-purpose pool noodles lately! I wonder if the inventor of the original pool noodles ever imagined the possibilities. Kids will love the shark! Thank you for sharing.
