Early years settings include water play in their continuous provision.
The ideas and activities in this book use the childrenʼs enjoyment of
water play to create meaningful learning experiences.

The practical activities include ideas for increasing childrenʼs
vocabulary, simple science investigations and fun movement and
dance - all based on the theme of water.

All of the play activities are designed to develop important
preschool skills and a deeper understanding of the world and are
linked to the Early Learning Goals of the Statutory Framework for
the Early Years Foundation Stage, revised by the Department of
Education for September 2012.
