Some people call them “water woggles,” while others refer to them as “pool noodles.” Whether you pick one or another doesn’t change that these are fantastic tools for aquatic playtime. If you’re learning how to swim, water woggles will help you float, making the experience much less scary. Once you are already as skillful as a fish, a pool noodle can be a fun water toy. Besides, because woggles are flexible, soft, and very easy to manipulate, they can also be used outside the water for different purposes. Who would have thought pool polyethylene foam noodles could be used for many intelligent hacks. Let’s dive in!

How to craft a foam raft

Water woggles float because they are light and made of polyethylene, which is not damaged by water. It is widespread knowledge that one can make themselves float with a single water woggle between their legs, but this is a much better idea.

See what you can do with a little bit of creativity and a budget? Stick a bunch of woggles side by side, and make sure they are secured and won’t split once they have weight on them. You’ve made a perfect raft.
