Things You’ll Need:

  • Plastic Kiddie Pool 6 feet in diameter.
  • Shovel.
  • Rocks.
  • Water.

Use a pointed Shovel Dig out an area the size of the diameter of the Duck Pool and make it almost as deep as the top of the pool.
Step3
Place your medium sized Kiddie Pool in the designated setting to create your new Duck Pool.
Step4
Rocks about 12 inches in diameter Add two to three medium to large sized Rocks to different locations inside of the Duck Pool.
Step5
Fill up the Duck Pool with cold water. Fill the Duck Pool half way up to the top with Water.

Tips & Warnings

  • Try to recycle by reusing a Kiddie Pool that a younger child may have grown out of.
  • Use a pointed shovel to dig your hole, this makes it easier to move more dirt out of the way.
  • After you dig your hole for the pool, keep the remaining dirt around the pool to form a mud bath, the ducks will love spattering around in the mud and then jumping into the pool.
  • Find different large shaped rocks for the Ducks to play and frolic around on.
  • Make sure to keep the pool shallow so small children don't climb in and cause injury.
  • Clean the water out of the pool and add fresh water every two weeks.
