About this book
This exciting topic-based series offers early years practitioners collections of activities based on familiar themes. The activities can be easily implemented and readily incorporated into curriculum planning through links made to the Foundation Stage curriculum.
Each book includes:
- activities that can be used on their own or as part of a themed program
- ideas for enjoying an all round curriculum approach
- guidance on expanding existing ideas and resources
- linked ideas to be carried out at home.
The activities in Water provide a good foundation for science awareness. The theme is popular with boys and girls and is particularly good for motivation. Because of the no-fail activities, it's particularly useful for SEN teaching.

Characteristics of water
Children will already have had many experiences finding out about and experimenting with water. They have had showers and baths, played with, paddled in, poured and drunk water. Water surprises, excites and absorbs children. Setting up a water play area will give them further opportunities for tactile experiences from which a range of skills and concepts may be developed. Water play is a source of much pleasure, which encourages sustained concentration.
