Shampoo Rinse Bucket with Siphon Learning Activity

This is a multi-purpose bath bucket.

• It has 4 different curved edges to match different sizes of infants' heads (R50, R60, R70, R80) which helps rinse shampoo from their hair without getting water in their eyes.
• For older children, it has a visible tube integrated into the side which can help teach the surprising physics of siphons!  After filling it with water to top, the water will flow up the tube and out the bottom until the water is drained from the bucket.

V2 was added with the following improvements:

• Handle was removed since the bucket is small enough to hold without a handle.  It also saves material.  The siphon was retained, just moved it entirely to the side of the bucket and is now even more visible.
• The raised bottom was redesigned to reduce the bridging required and to save material.
• Thickness was added to the rim to add strength while keeping the rest of the walls thin for saving material.
