Filling and emptying is an all-time favourite activity among young children and is something children do very often in play- over and over, again and again!  Did you know that filling and emptying is an early math and science skill? Children will problem-solve, make estimations, predictions and discoveries on volume and weight. There are a number of ways for children to practice this skill but since it is summer, today's activity will also help to cool us off!  
 

What you will need: 

•    A bucket 

•    A watering can 

•    Chair 

•    Perhaps a hose or other water toys 

•    Blow up pool, bathtub or large storage bin filled with water 

*always supervise your child around water
