Water Play

Today was a "throw something together for sensory play" sort of day. But it's often the simplest activities that keep Monkey occupied the longest. 

Supplies: bucket of water, various water safe toys 

I grabbed Monkey's rubber ducks and some old measuring cups and spoons. I also have a collection of yogurt containers for water play that my husband drilled holes in the bottom of. 

He made all different patterns using many sizes of drill bits. 

Monkey just loved the containers. 

He spent a long time letting them drain into each other or having races between two full containers to see which would drain first. 

He also made some soup for dinner. 

Monkey did manage to get some water on our hardwood floor. He didn't do it on purpose but that's the nature of water play. I had a small towel close by for him to mop up the water and I kept a close eye on it, too. If you're afraid of a mess, you could always do your water play in the bathtub.
