Water - the most exciting learning context!
Children absolutely love water! They intuitively sense its deeply relaxing properties and its unlimited creative potential.
When you offer your children water to play with, some of them will immerse their hands in it up to their elbows, and others will love to splash around for hours. Some will want to make impact and see the immediate result of their creation, and others will calmly observe how water flows and drips. Or even try mixing it with other things to see what is possible!
Having water-themed play and learning stations in your setting or school will always support your children's holistic growth by facilitating:
- PERSONALISED LEARNING - water will give your children a chance to discover their most preferred ways of expressing themselves.
- MULTI-SENSORY LEARNING & EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING - water provides a deeply immersive multi-sensory environment that will relax your children, soothe their senses, and support their energy release more than any other tool available.
- CROSS-CURRICULAR EDUCATION - water will give your children a rich context to observe the laws of nature as they experiment, try things out, test, and creatively work with water and its properties.
- CREATIVE EXPERIMENTS & HANDS-ON PROJECTS - water is always a truly hands-on learning environment that will allow your children to easily see immediate results and impact of their work.
Use water on a daily basis to provide nurturing play & learning environments for your children. See how water positively affects their behaviour, their emotions, their understanding of the world, and their creative expression!

- you can easily cover cross-curricular learning outcomes
- you address your children's individual learning needs and preferences, and open the door to Personalised Learning
- you support your children's core Life Skills and their holistic development
World Class Educators use Active Experiential Learning as their primary method of working with children!
This powerful educational approach is quickly becoming recognised as one of the most effective ways to offer Future-Oriented Education.
