Play with water and sand, fun and educational

Summer is an ideal time for children experience games with water and sand. The water not only cools but also stimulates your senses.

I do not know a child who does not love to play with water, from jumping in a puddle to putting his hand in a bowl, splashing, wetting his head, playing with cubes ... the experience of playing with water is not only a fun but also It becomes a learning.

Children approximately 10 months and older begin to feel great attraction for exploring the elements of the world around them, and among them is the water and of course if we take them to the beach (or a sandpit), also the sand.

Discover the temperature of the water, the drops, check what things float and what not in a bucket of water, fill and empty, make transfers from one container to another ... things that can go unnoticed for us are a discovery for the little ones.

The same with the sand, fill buckets and empty them, feel the temperature of the sand in the sun and in the shade, check the texture of the dry sand and what happens when we wet it, how the sand figures fall apart on the seashore ... That is also learning.

Allowing them to play with water and sand opens up a world of possibilities that motivate them to explore, learn basic questions of cause and effect and solve small problems.

Therefore, taking advantage of the summer and always with great caution when it comes to water (remember that a few centimeters can be dangerous) and taking care that you do not eat all the sand on the beach, we put at your disposal shovels, buckets, rakes and molds . They will have a great time while they will be learning.
