Thing of the Week - Splish, Splash, Splosh!

As part of the launch of 50 Things in Southwark, we are focusing on 1 of the 50 activities in this amazing app. Next is ‘Splish, Splash, Splosh!’.

Children love to play with water, inside and outside, splashing, pouring and paddling! You don’t need water trays or expensive equipment - why not explore in the bath or using a washing up bowl with yoghurt pots. Water allows children to explore, discover, problem-solve and has an impact on their physical and emotional development.

Encourage communication, vocabulary development, sensory experiences, imaginative play and more. This learning can take place from birth as part of your child’s regular bath-time routine before branching out into outdoor activities or playing at the sink.

For more information on this activity including how to do it, the benefits, top tips and resources, download the free 50 Things app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
