25.01.2022 Rain play is the best play! Using buckets to scoop and transfer water, the children noticed the water changed shape when they put the buckets down. They enjoyed experimenting with making patterns in the ripples. With trial and error the patterns were all different shapes and sizes. Exploring early mathematic concepts in everyday play experiences! #nambourearlylearningcentre #rainplay #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #earlymathskills
