Hippo Backyard Retreat


Treat your hippo to the best in backyard living! Although Purple Hippos make great indoor pets, they still love the outdoors. And what better way to show your hippo how much you care than with a Hippo Backyarrd Rereat*? Now your hippo will have the best quality outdoor habitation without breaking your bank account! Our staff have spent countless hours researching all your hippo's outdoor needs and wants and we have come up with a product that knows no equal. Simply call 1-000-Hippos1 to order yours today, or visit Diagon Alley where are products are sold. Just 350 Galleons, because your hippo is worth it!

Instructions:
1. Set up the 4 tent poles firmly in the ground, secure with rope, but be sure to keep some for the mirror later. The rope will help keep the poles steady against strong winds.
2. Stretch the sleeping bag over the top to provide shade for your hippo. Using the rope, tie each corner to a pole.
3. Next take your mirror (hippo's love to look at themselves!) and tie it to a piece of rope. Insert the other piece of rope into a hole that you will make yourself into the sleeping bag. Hang it wherever you think your hippo will get the most use of it. We recommend a heart shaped mirror as studies have shown this to be the favorite mirror shape of purple hippos.
3. Next place the rug beneath the shade so that your hippo has a comfortable place to rest.
4. Now place the basin top upside down and fill it with water so that your hippo has something to drink out of. DO NOT ever leave your hippo outdoors without an adequate water supply!
5. The kit comes with an electric fan for those who live in warm climates. The domesticated purple hippo is used to comfortable tempertures, use the fan on hot days to keep your hippo cool (extension cord sold seperate)
6. We're almost done! Now take four or so of you hippo's favorite stuffed teddy bears and decorate the space with them. Hippos love to cuddle, and when you aren't there then they will need lots of cuddle toys.
7. Last step: add Hippo. The space is already for hours of outdoor fun for your hippo.

Items used

* Pack of 2/12 toilet rolls
* A basin top
* A metal pedal bin
* 3/4 tent poles
* Rope
* Dog lead
* 1 drawer
* Four teddy bears
* Fence panel

Hoover

Items used:

Metal pedal bin
Electric fan
Tent poles
Bike handlebars
Rope
Dog Lead
Mirror
Wine bottles
Remote

1. Attach the dog lead to the bike handlebars, and bind three tent poles together tightly with the rope.

2. Tie the end of the dog lead to the lid of the bin, and a wine bottle to the middle of the tent pole. The bin should be “attached” to the tent poles.

3. Glue the mirror to the bottom end of the tent poles and tape (lots of tape) the other tent pole to the rest of them at right angles.

4. Glue the fan to this tent pole and open the lid of the bin, and tie the tensed dog lead around the bottle.

Here you have a Hoover! To use, you must switch it on using the remote and slide it over to the dust you want to throw away. The fan, whirring away, will blow the dust onto the mirror, and up into the bin, depending on how skilful you are at manoeuvring the fan with the remote. When the dust is in the bin, release the dog lead that is tied around the bottle and the lid will close. Now, you can take the bin to a bigger bin and empty it in there before you re-attach it to the Hoover!

What happens when you're on the loo, you look and you see there's no toilet roll on the holder? Uh-oh, panic stations! Well with this fantastic invention, panic no longer!

Items Used:

-Hippo
-Rope
-Basin Top
-Sleeping bag
-Electric fan
-Toilet rolls
-dog lead
-remote

1. Attach the dog lead to your bathroom ceiling, using a hammer and nail.

2. Attach the sleeping bag (head end at top) to the dog lead, it should now hang.

3. Fill the sleeping bag with toilet rolls.

4. Attach the sink to the top of the sleeping bag and widen the plughole.

5. Wire up the electric fan to the bathroom floor.

6. Attach the rope from within the plughole of the sink, to an area near your toilet.

7. Seat yourself (hippo) on the toilet, and make sure the remote is nearby!

And voila, your toilet roll dispenser! But how does it work, I hear you cry! Well, if you keep it stocked up and keep the remote near you when you use the loo, there will never be a need to panic again.

When you find that you've run out of loo roll, simply hit the "on" button on your remote, and watch the magic. The electric fan will start whirring, creating a huge blast of air that billows into the sleeping bag. Then, a toilet roll from within the sleeping bag will propel itself up through the sink's widened plughole, and onto the end of the rope.

Press the fast forward button on your remote, and the loo roll will zoom along the rope through the central tube. Turn the fan off by pressing the "off" button. And that's it! Your loo roll will have come to you, and a dire emergency will have been averted.

Good luck!

My dear customers we would like to thank you all. The Playground Car was a huge success and our profits were so big we are now able to present you a second item. Keeping with the same theme as the last one we present you the “Yard Playground” because children are the best we have but are also little devils.

The yard playground can be placed either in your front or backyard and it’s a great place of fun to children. Unfortunately we aren’t big enough yet to send someone to your home to built it so you’ll have to do it yourself but you’ll see how simple it is just follow the next steps:

Step 1 - with a pile of fence panels build a fence with approximately 2 m2 to give kids enough space to play without wanting to escape

Step 2 – building the swing

- Grab 3 tent poles

- Attach two of them to the ground with a slight inclination

- Join the two with a third tent pole on the top

- With a rope attach a baby car seat and a swing seat to the top tent pole. This way you can have both your older and your youngest child riding at the same time



Step 3 - in one corner place a metal pedal bin which we provide with a teddy bear in it. The metal bin serves for storing toys.

Step 4 – there’s 3 empty bottles without the neck placed them tightly in the ground in a triangle form very tightly upon it place a basin top and fill it with water. Which child doesn’t like to play with water? We offer also a purple hippo with a leash on it your children can pretend they’re walking a hippo!

Step 5 – stick a 4th tent pole to the ground, open a sleeping bag and place it above the tent pole, on the ground put an old rug place a pile of stones in the tips of the sleeping bag so it won't get blew by the wind. Protect the tent pole with toilet paper so your children won’t hurt themselves if they fall and hit it. Voila here’s a cheap tent your children can pretend they’re camping we even provide an electric fan for the warmly nights.

Step 6 – finally unwrap the shop dummy. Glue a mirror to its chest and a drawer to the bottom. This makes a perfect make-up toy; your little girl would have a beauty place for her. Also place a bicycle handlebar in it so your daughter can move the dummy more easily to the left or to the light according to the sun.

See people very simple. Keep sending your feedback to us we honestly appreciate it. See you on the next launch…
