A Great Day for Water Play!

In the Waddler Room children enjoyed water adventures! Water play is good for children’s physical, cognitive, & social-emotional growth. When children pour water, they improve their physical dexterity & eye-hand coordination. By playing with others they develop social skills. They explore why certain objects sink in water and others float. Children learn concepts such as empty/full, before/after, shallow/deep, and heavy/light in a hands-on way. Children learn new words that go along with water play, such as funnel, surface, float, and strain.
