3. Pool Noodle Giant Lollypop Decorations
Fun decorating idea for your next party! Roll the foam noodle like a cinnamon roll. Cut an “X” with scissors into the noodle and insert PVC pipe (secure with glue). Slide the PVC pipe over a thin garden stake hammered into the ground to secure. If you like, wrap a sheet of cellophane around the noodle top to create a “wrapper” and finish off with a ribbon. So cute!

4. Pool Noodle Plant Supports
Use colorful pool noodles cut to different sizes as a support for plants in place of a wooden stake. Simply cut the noodle lengthwise using a knife and fit it around the base of a plant. As the plant gradually grows taller, you can add another section to support the added growth. Create a vibrant looking garden with your kids!
