This  fun multi-sensory activity  for all ages lets
children explore and learn.

What you need:

• Pots or buckets
• A water tray
• A waterproof mat
• Sponges, water toys  (optional) or natural resources
• Bubbles and food colouring (optional)

What to do:

1. Outdoors – Lay out some pots or buckets
filled with water and an array of toys,
sponges, and other things that can float.
2. Indoors – If you’re taking it indoors,
you’re better to start with a small water
tray to place the toys in and a waterproof
mat to protect the floor.
3. For younger children and babies
you’ll need to supervise them more closely,
but it is the perfect activity for them
to explore different textures.
4. Your babies will love it if you blow bubbles
and let them float on the water or let them splash
about, grab toys and explore this new
environment.
5. For older children, you can set them
some water play challenges. Get them to
craft floating boats, explore floating and
sinking, and get them to try and build a
dam.
