I need the help of Mums and Dads for my A level Project. Feedback on something I've made

I posted, about 6 months ago, about a school project I was doing for my A Levels. I needed all of your thoughts on the idea of a kid's garden toy that converted into something suitable for an adult gathering and did not need to be stored. The idea was for parents with not much space in their garden that didn't have room for all their kid's toys and chairs and tables for when they have friends over.
I have now made the product!! It is a stool, when you remove the lid it reveals a spinning disc, this disc has many holes in it of different shapes. The product is connected to a hose which sprays out of one hole just underneath the spinning disc; therefore, when you spin the disc the water comes out in different directions (depending on which hole is covering the water spray). This is a fun game for children as they don't know which way the water is going to spray out next.
Then, when the kids have gone to bed. Mum or Dad can put the lid back on and use it as a table or stool in their garden to have somewhere else for one of their friends or family to sit when its a nice evening.

I would love to hear your feedback, positive or negative.
Here are some questions I have devised for you to answer, or you can just give a small paragraph stating what you think!

  1. Do you think your kids would enjoy playing with this product?
  2. Would you like to have this in your garden?
  3. Can you think of any issues you would have with this product?

Thank you! Would be such a help to me!

I think my kids would definitely enjoy playing with this product!

I would definitely put this in my garden.

I assume the final product would be made from weatherproof material and not wood, which would rot easily. No issues then for me.

Well done!

  1. DS is probably a bit old now but would have loved it.
  1. Only as a toy. It would have to be more 'natural looking' to fit in with the rest of my garden furniture. A brightly coloured object is great as a toy, but I would have to 'tidy it away' to revert to 'adult space'.
  1. See above. It would also have to be waterproof and easy to clean.
