Why Play with a Pool?
Sensory Exploration
Water play introduces kids to new textures, temperatures, sights and sounds. Actions like splashing engage multiple senses at once, and encourage children to actively use their senses as they explore. With water in a pool, every movement presents an opportunity to see, hear, and to feel something new.
STEM Learning
Early physics concepts like motion and flowing are present in pool time play! Sensory toys with slides, spinners and funnels are a great way to teach kids about cause and effect. Incorporate learning into play by letting kids make predictions about what will happen when water enters a spinner, or a rubber duck is placed on top of the water surface.
Language + Social Skills
Sensory water and pool toys help kids build important social skills like taking turns and experimenting with role play. This kind of play is also great for widening a child’s vocabulary, as they start using words like “splash” and “float”.
Physical + Motor Skills
Water and pool time play is a great way to practice physical development. When your child pours water from a bucket, they practice both physical dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Some accessories and pool toys also help develop fine motor skills and the pincer grasp as kids practice squirting, stirring and squeezing different accessories while they play.
The Step2 Brand: We Bring Family Together.
Kids are the dreamers, the storytellers, the athletes, artists, and actors. They’re the playtime visionaries ready to explore, think, and learn through uninhibited play. Our team at Step2 is proud to create new ways to play, to turn every child’s imaginary world into a reality. Behind those magical playtime spaces full of wonderment and exploration is one – or many – of our uniquely indestructible toys, from playhouses and play kitchens, to climbers, ride-ons and so much more. Part of multiple generations of play, we’re the innovators working to keep our tradition of active social play at the forefront of countless childhood memories.
So keep playing, dreaming, and exploring with your child. Just imagine what they’ll imagine – that’s where we’ll be, continuing to bring “what could be” to life.
Play Together!
- Encourage your child to explore all the ways the umbrella post attachments can be arranged, and watch with them as their water combinations create waterfalls!
- Cause and Effect: Challenge your child to create a large tidal wave, and then a small one. Engage them by asking questions such as, “What happens to the water when it’s pushed hard?”, “Which tool works best to move the most water?”, and “Was that wave bigger or smaller than the one before?”.
- Seaside Storytelling: Get creative with water play! Make up a story about the fun creature toys you’re playing with. Where are they from? What’s their favorite thing to do at the water table? See how silly the stories get as you build off of one another to add more details!
