Slip-and-Slide Extreme!


-This product is every child's dream! It is based off of the traditional Slip-and-Slide but now it can be used anywhere, rain or shine. What makes it different than a traditional Slip-and-Slide is the fact that it has a completely enclosed structure and inflatable base which allows for use practically anywhere. And it has a waterfall!

-It will be supported by durable support rods (much like those seen in tents). These rods, along with the air, will completely support the structure. There is also a connective socket for a hose to be inserted to allow for the waterfall to become functional. Children will be amused and excited while learning all about physics and fluid mechanics. The friction forces and water pressure priciples will be taught to the children in a subtle, but practical, easy to grasp way.

-This toy will be safe because of the duel support system in place and it is also extremely durable because of the light weight material which can easily be foled up and placed into a small bag for your convenience. As for cost, the Extreme! will be relatively cheap. A tradition Slip-and-Slide can cost as much at $40. The Extreme! will only be $50 and comes with way more cool stuff! So now, it's time to rock out and get Extreme!
