- As they share space and take turns with materials, children are learning to play cooperatively with others.
- As they explore lentils, cornmeal, dirt, rice, pasta, and water, they can observe those materials to see how they compare and contrast.
- Problem-solving skills are developed as the children try to fit lids on containers they have over-filled, or as they try to keep a collection of items from floating away in the table of water.
- Their fine motor skills grow as they use tongs to scoop up shredded cellophane, or use tiny spoons to scoop cornmeal into small film canisters.
- Eye-hand coordination grows as they pour water into a tube… The skills are as endless as the fun!
