This works on SO many skills! While they splash around in the water, they are activating their senses & exploring temperature, colors & measurements. As they begin to mix the different colors together, they are getting a first hand look at how varied colors are created. The pouring & splashing & squeezing is an amazing way to strengthen fine motor skills. Did I mention it is FUN?!?!
