The benefits of water play + bucketloads of activities to try
|
Water play provides oodles of fun for children, and it's a splishy, splashy, sploshy way for under fives to learn through play.
A simple tub of H2O provides endless opportunities for your child to observe, experiment, discover and feel. There is pouring, squirting, sponging, bobbing, sieving, melting, swishing and lots more to do, and even though we think of water play as a summery, outdoors activity, it's easy to set up water play activities indoors and all year round.
Here we look at the benefits of water play in your child's early years and provide some easy ideas for water-based activities.
