Water Play can be done indoors and outdoors and is more often than not a great hit for children.
They learn new language and experiment with different ways of doing things. They explore different concepts and while they are busy learning, water play also provides calming tendencies.
Just think when you take a bath or shower you relax and the same applies to children. Observe them from a distance and watch as they get completely lost in their own world.
