Activity #11: Indoor (or outdoor) water play



Description: Fill a tub of water and let the kids play. This can be an outdoor or an indoor activity (if you can handle the potential for water on the floor, as spills will happen). The kids can play in there with bath toys or other toys that may be water appropriate. Or you can just use cups, bowls, measuring cups and even syringes.
Age: any
Purpose:
Measuring
Fine motor (pouring)
Pretend play
Prep time: minimal to start (perhaps more time to clean up)
What you’ll need: small tub or container, various measuring cups and/or bath toys
Fun Factor: So there is no marks for creativity for coming up with this activity, but the kids have a great time and it can keep them occupied for a long time. As long as you change up the toys, you can do this over and over.
Tip: put towels on the floor to catch any spills, make the clean up easier, and avoid slippery floors.
