What toddlers learn from water play —
after a hard day of being small in a big world. He’s learning new words, and thinking about the wetness of the water and the bubbliness of the bubbles.What if there was a clean, creative, natural play material that was piped right into your house, 24 hours a day, every day?
One of the big lessons toddlers are learning is how the world works, and it’s not just a passive experience for them. They want to know how the world really works, how it tastes and smells and feels and how bouncy it is if you jump really hard on it. Renee McGuirk, an early childhood educator in the toddler room at Progress Child Care Centre of Centennial College in Toronto, says, “Toddlers are very tactile.
Lessons make the most of modelling. Bemrose says, “The parent blows bubbles, and the child sees that it’s fun to blow bubbles and eventually,. It’s very subtle, the way the learning is incorporated into the songs and games.” •Empty buckets and dishpans when your child is finished playing. Taylor suggests the cleanup can be part of the exploration. Your toddler can help you pour the water down the drain. Watch it disappear, and wonder together where the water ends up.
•Put some water in a plastic spray bottle. A well-cleaned out window cleaner bottle works well. This is good for painting the side of the house, and makes an excellent monster repellent. Also good for watering the lawn, a tiny bit at a time.
