How to make a homemade water-slide: There are a couple of things you can use for a homemade water slide. 1. Sometimes I use the heavy-duty clear plastic that we line our backyard skating rink with. It’s really sturdy and super-slippery. 2. Today I’m using a basic camping tarp. Both the clear plastic sheeting and these camping tarps are available at most hardware stores. I spread the tarp out over a small slope in the yard, hung the garden hose up over the clothes-line, and chose a light spray setting. I used that little clip thingy on the hose nozzle to hold the trigger down so the hose would stay on. Then I drizzled some cheap shampoo over the tarp to make it slippery. You don’t want to miss this step. The kids won’t be able to really slide without it. Just pick up a bottle of shampoo or dish detergent at the dollar store. You don’t want to spend much because you’re going to use a lot of it keeping the tarp slippery.
