WATER - Playing with water can be exciting for children. The splashing around can help to

hone fine and gross motor skills, and the sensory experience that it provides gives children the
opportunity to unwind, order their thoughts and relax. Playing with water can be fun and chaotic,

running through garden sprinklers, hurtling down water slides, having water fights, but it can

also be calm and relaxing, the sound of the water pouring, the exploratory nature of filling up tubs

and decanting into other containers or just creating bubbles and watching them float away.
