So if you didn't know, I have a fish. I call him the Bug but oh man does this kid LOVE water! I am constantly changing up our daily structure to keep him engaged and adding sensory play right after breakfast has been awesome- he gets soaked, I take off his PJ's and throw on his clothes! Win, win seeing as toddler transitions are challenging!
We recently bought some sand/water toys on Amazon (We got this one.) And while it's a semi weird set (The water wheel and 2 tools are bigger/normal size, then the bucket, 3 molds, and 2 tools are mini), it has been great for the Bug!
We focused on scooping, pouring, and splashing!
He occasionally got the water to make the water wheel turn but usually poured the water too soon.
He seriously would be content to just always have water but I like to change it up occasionally!
With older kids, you could work on getting water to the wheel, or use different size containers to do some measuring. Seeing as the Bug was trying to drink the water, we keep things simple!
PS. Happy Father's Day!!!
