Ice and water Play

Hartley loves playing with water, he has done since he was tiny. Over the next coming weeks I plan to do lots of posts on how to make water play even more fun and exciting and full of learning opportunities.

Today we played with animals trapped in ice cubes.
Hartley was fascinated with the cubes, trying to touch the animals inside. We kept adding warm water until eventually he could set the animals free!

He then had lots of fun playing with the water. I added a few pots, spoons and a ladle so he could scoop and pour the water.

He concentrated so hard whilst transferring water from one pot to another.  This was great for his hand eye coordination and fine motor skills.
