Introduce the water table and materials that will be available to children. Encourage children to notice the properties of the objects and how they work with the water (e.g., things with holes don’t hold water very well).

Interactive Lesson

Provide containers that are easily grasped and manipulated, including containers with adaptive handles if available.

• Follow children’s interests and incorporate those interests into the activity as much as possible.
• Provide visuals for children to use as a means to communicate their thoughts and ideas and to ask for help.
