Transcript

You only have five minutes and you need an activity for your water table, watch this. All you need are a couple PVC pipes, and you want to make something like this. And add a couple funnels. And get one of these things and put it right here. Add a couple funnels here as well. Then we'll add some pitchers. And I like adding some fresh mint to our water because it's all natural. It adds like a nice scent to the better, and it's fun to experiment with. And that's how you make a super easy water table activity in just five minutes. This is great for fine motor skills, pouring, and it's super fun. And you can just see the difference in play between our older and younger preschoolers. And I've been working on something these past six months that I believe will truly help early childhood educators. So follow along if you don't wanna miss out, and I'll see you on the next
