Early years settings include water play in their continuous provision. The ideas and activities in this book use the children¿s enjoyment of water play to create meaningful learning experiences. The practical activities include ideas for increasing children¿s vocabulary, simple science investigations and fun movement and dance - all based on the theme of water. All of the play activities are designed to develop important preschool skills and a deeper understanding of the world and are linked to the Early Learning Goals of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, revised by the Department of Education for September 2012.
