Scoop, splash, pour and paddle!

Playing in water allows children a wonderful sensory experience. Baths, paddling pools, buckets, sinks and washing up bowls all provide opportunities for exploring, role-playing and problem solving – and you don’t need expensive equipment. Add some old yogurt pots, a tea-set, some spoons and scoops or a selection of metal and plastic cups, eggcups, jugs of different sizes and you have created a rich learning environment!

Potions, tea parties, and ‘making dinner’ are all popular activities – remember to follow children’s own interests. Join in sensitively – adding new words when appropriate for the child you are playing with. “Mix, mix, mix!” and “more!” might be appropriate for a 12-month-old child. An older child might enjoy following your ‘recipe’ – “I need 4 scoops of sugar, 1…2…3…4…”, “Next we need to measure one cup of milk”. Commentating by describing what your child is doing is a powerful way of providing language, “You’re pouring it in gently. Oh! It’s full to the brim! It’s full to the top! It’s overflowing!” Have fun and remember to use more comments than questions
