Outdoor water play has multiple benefits for children. Water play fosters curiosity, imagination, and experimentation. With the right resources water play can foster cognitive development, teach mathematics and science concepts, enhance physical skills, promote social learning and cooperative effort. Children explore gravity and engineering when they play with our pipe and tunnel sets. Observe, experiment and tinker with ideas as they play and manipulate to make the water flow in different directions. Children will naturally problem solve as they play, and they will soon discover that water flows downhill and finds a natural horizontal level. Moving pipes and repositioning them to aid water flow will improve hand and eye co-ordination. Children will learn how to share a space with other children and how to take turns when playing.
