Reply To: Sprinklers and kids

Oomis: my point exactly. So if a slide is technically not a shabbos activity, but all do it, than a sprinkler, which is also not a shabbos activity, should technically not be treated as assur. I guess it’s to teach kids that bathing, squeezing etc is assur on shabbos, so we avoid all water so as not to confuse them (?!)
