Falling Water Bath Play
Parent uses a water bottle with holes in the lid during bath time to create a falling water effect. The agent coaches the parent to give simple one-step and two-step instructions while exploring water flow, teaching early math/science concepts like 'in/out' and 'full/empty' through sensory play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
