Sand and Water Play

Sand and water play – so simple but it never gets old! Even now L and A love to play with sand, water or both at the same time!

When L was small he had a sand and water table that was easily one of his favourite toys.

Another favourite activity was to be allowed to do the ‘washing up’ at the sink – it’s messy but if you don’t mind mopping up the spills then it’s a great activity to keep little ones occupied.

Another way of engaging with water play is to encourage your child to transfer water from one container to another using a spoon, syringe or other similar implement. This is great for developing fine motor skills.
