Children have a natural love for sand and water, and having a sand and water table for our classroom would provide a wonderful place for them to learn. A sand and water table is a place where children can build important social skills for life. They learn to cooperatively play, problem solve with others, as well as building their math and science skills. Through investigations, they observe, predict, estimate, experiment, and draw conclusions. Sand and water play introduces many scientific concepts such as sinking, floating. Exploring sand, water, and other sensory materials also gives children opportunities to practice many math concepts such measuring, and identifying math concepts such a more, less, bigger, smaller, and equal. We can also build our financial literacy skills by having them sift through the sand to find coins buried in the sand and water table. They can practice identifying the coins as well as adding them up to find the total amount. As the kids are scooping, sifting, digging, pouring and measuring, they are also improving their motor skills. It is great for their sensory development and improving their vocabulary as they discuss how the materials feel and engage in conversation about their sensory experiences.
