How much fun can be had with balloons filled with water and a bucket? So much!!
Well.. we added the basketball hoop too but just for a bit of aiming practise.We all enjoyed the cause and effect with this experience! As we dropped the water balloons through the hoop the tamariki anticipated the big splash as it hit the bucket of water! WE enjoyed the little splashes on our feet.
The tamariki realised that the water suddenly disappeared! We wondered how?! When we had just filled it!? Then after we threw the balloons in many times the water would vanish!
Ahh haaa! It was disappearing because of all the splashes! Luckily, they knew just what to do...They went off to get a watering can so they could problem solve and fill it up themselves. What great independence!
Wonderful thinking, taking turns, communication, laughter and exploration was had!

You could try this at home too. You don’t need to have a basketball hoop, you can just use a bucket of water and balloons- they were only filled up a little bit so that they wouldn’t burst open when thrown!
