Why We Love Ball Buddies Adventure Center
More Ball Buddies Fun
This kids’ water table includes three more Ball Buddies characters in addition to the classic Ball Buddies dump truck!
Two-Tier Play
From lazy river to seaside roads, two-tier play allows more space for kids to interact with each other, or claim their own station to play their own way.
Accessories Included
Ball play meets water play with hoops, spinners, cups, Ball Buddies characters, and toy balls all included with this exciting outdoor water table.
Water Action
Little adventurers will have a blast with the water-activated spinner on the top tier, along with making a splash in the bottom basin with the whirlpool spinner!
Why Play with a Water Table?
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, every movement presents an opportunity to see, hear, and feel something new.
STEM Learning
Early physics concepts like motion and flowing are present in water play. Water 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 a water slide.
Language + Social Skills
Water toys help kids build important social skills like taking turns and experimenting with role play. Water play is also great for widening a child’s vocabulary, as they start using words like “splash”, “sink”, and “float”.
Physical + Motor Skills
Water 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. Water toys also help develop fine motor skills and the pincer grasp as kids practice squirting, stirring and squeezing different accessories while they play.
Play Together!
- Seaside Storytelling: Get creative with water play! Make up a story about the Ball Buddies characters 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!
- Sensory Exploration: Instead of water, fill the water table with dried pasta, beans, sand, or rice to create a fun sensory play area to use indoors or out.
- Ball play is a great way to work on eye contact. Have your child pass the ball to you, then wait for them to make eye contact with you before passing it back.
- Interact with your child as they play with the adventure center by asking questions like “How does the ball get around the lazy river?” and “How is each water and road path different?”. Mix it up by taking turns and keeping time to see who can get the most play balls down the chute faster!
