Water play

Water is a wonderful learning resource for children from age nought upwards. It is always available and allows endless opportunities for play and learning. Changing the water to make it warm, coloured or bubbly can create a totally new experience.

Your child might enjoy filling containers such as yogurt pots, bottles, and pouring into others. Encourage them to see what floats and what sinks. Water play strengthens your child's exploratory, physical and communication skills. Always ensure your child is supervised at all times when playing with water of any depth.
