Made a Slow Children Playing Sign using a bucket while kids are playing. Warning: Read your city/state laws with placement that is allowed. For example you may only be allowed to place in your grass or edge of your driveway.

Supplies

1 - 5 Gallon General Bucket

1 - Wooden Stake

2 - Sign - Use poster-board or cardboard box or garage sale signs

2 - Picture - Photos printed out by Printer or Markers

1 - Flat Screw Driver

1 Glue or 2 3M - strong enough to hold sign to wooden stake examples can be super glue, wood glue

Tape (optional)

Create the Sign

  1. Personally I used two old garage sale signs.
  2. Place 3M front and back on wooden stake and/or use glue (super glue, wood glue).
  3. Place 1 sign on front and 1 sign on the back of wooden stake.
  4. Wait up to 5 minutes for supplies to settle.
  5. Image search for a Slow Children Playing photo.
  6. Print out the photo and tape or glue to your signs.
  7. (optional) use a marker and write out the words large enough for drivers to see. Use this as an opportunity for kids to help decorate the sign.

Bucket Modification

  1. Grab a 5 gallon bucket which can be found at most home hardware stores.
  2. If you have any wire handles remove them.
  3. Flip over the bucket.
  4. Using your Flat Screw Driver - Pierce the bucket just smaller then your wooden stake when inserted.
  5. Note: It should be slightly hard to place inside the bucket so it cannot easily move once inserted
  6. Place your sign with wooden stake into the bucket.
