Water play is by far the easiest to prepare and the most loved activity by young learners! Add soap, sea animals, numbers, or anything that your little one would like to play with to make water play more engaging. You can also give your little one a small basin filled with water and a paintbrush. Children will have the opportunity to water paint and scribble. This helps develop fine motor skills, tripod grip, and imagination.
