Water Play

On a nice day, I love to get out our water play bin, fill it with water, and take it outside.  The kids are always sad when it's time to put it away; they could play for hours.

Just fill a bin with rocks, cups of varying sizes, funnels, rubber duckies, and whatever you want.  Bring it outside and you won't need to worry about spills.  They played together so nicely and eventually worked together to get all the water our by filling up cups and running them over to the fire pit.  This is a good exercise to teach about what floats, for example, rocks don't float, but when you put one in a cup it will float!
