Embracing Water Play

Summer is the perfect time to explore, and there’s nothing more fun than spending time outdoors and especially in water!

Whether it’s in the ocean, lake, creek, pool, or tub in the backyard, playing in water helps children with their growth and development while having the best time!

Water play allows children to explore and interact with each other. New experiences and discovering new things within shared spaces offer a great opportunity for social development.

As children play, they will be excited to communicate their discoveries to everyone around them. This is a confidence booster for kids! Because water play typically occurs in a limited space with few supplies, children practice sharing with each other and working together while engaging in play.

There are endless opportunities for communication development and social growth during water play!
