Heat Wave

We started our week with painting the walk with water.
This toddler decided to see what happens when you pour out your cup.
(Science/Predicting/Sensory)
Notice he also painted the center of each brick.
(Math/fine motor)


The neighbor's cat stopped in for a visit. We found out what happens when we pet a cat's fur with wet hands.
(Sensory/Empathy)
This 3 year old used water pumps in the bubbly water
(Science/Sensory/Large Muscles)
Older minds decide to see what happens when you dump out the water pump into the water wheel
(More science/predicting)
Now we begin washing dishes.Notice the toddler to the left is opening an egg filled with water?
He got a surprise when the water poured out!
(Dramatic Play/Discovery)
More of them using those large muscles. That old coffee creamer container came in pretty handy for water play.He's dumping water & plastic lids with the ABC's written on them for more floating items.He discovered the lids won't go down the water wheel hole.
Another vantage point below our "water wall".
I forgot to get a photo of it. Maybe later.
Note to all providers/parents/caregivers.....
ALWAYS be present during water play
&
Have extra clothes :)
