Water is one of the basic raw materials for purposeful play and children can experiment without being constrained by the one right way to use it.
Children always have a natural affinity to water play and because it is naturally fascinating, it can be both educational and fun. Thoughtfully prepared, a water play feature within a school environment can encourage cognitive development and teach children about conservation, physics, re-cycling, maths and science concepts. Children are about to learn about floating and sinking and seeing that different objects can both sink and float. In maths, children are able to learn about measuring a certain amount of water into a bucket, more and less by filling one bucket with more water and one with less water.
The pulley and bucket product is a construction play item which can be added to most sand and dig pits or water play areas to add a new dimension to interactivity.
The small interactive water wall is science and fun all wrapped into one – this water wall needs plumbing but can be placed virtually anywhere.
Water play also encourages creativity as children can use their extensive imaginations when playing with water. Interactive and sustainable, children can learn about cause and effect using the hand pump and moving elements.
Please have a look at the gallery below to see some examples of previous work and then give us a call to discuss a particular product or idea. Most of our water play products are supplied on a bespoke basis so don’t worry if you don’t see what you are looking for or have in mind. We are even working on a product which produces hydro power!
