Watering Jugs for Kids

August 23, 2012 by Becky

These easy watering jugs for kids are perfect when you need something to do with the kids (and secretly want them to help water the plants without them knowing they’re helping with chores, because sometimes you just have to get through the day without anyone crying).  I promise they were all excited about this, despite the legos, sleepy face, and snack that were all happening simultaneously.

All you need is one empty, clean milk jug per kid, a nail, a hammer, and small stack of newspaper.

Using the nail and hammer, make about 15 holes in the lid of your milk jug.

Then just fill your jug, screw the lid on, and the kids will be so excited to water every green thing they see!


I need to refresh my pots a little.  We’ve been focusing on quality beauty survival this summer.

Summer is quickly fading…hopefully you’re enjoying yours as much as we’ve enjoyed ours!
