Babies and toddlers love water play. It’s a great way to grow strong and healthy, to work on gross motor skills, and to have fun!
Water play is one of the most important things you can do with your baby and toddler!
Babies and toddlers are born with immature muscle strength and need lots of opportunities to engage in active play which will allow them to strengthen their muscles gradually as they grow. Babies and toddlers also need to develop their gross motor skills which will be a critical part of their development in order for them to learn how to move about, how to sit up, crawl, walk and run later on. Toys for water play should be age appropriate for the baby or toddler. Your baby or toddler shouldn’t be playing with toys that are too advanced for their development. You can make your own toys for water play or you can purchase them from a toy store. Toys that float are always a good idea because they’re easier for your child to grab hold of while they’re playing. In fact, it’s not just babies and toddlers who love water play. Many parents find that their older children enjoy water play as well. It can be a great way to cool off on a hot day or after playing hard at the playground. All of these things are great for your baby
or toddler. But what’s more, it’s also a lot of fun for you! Before you start the water playtime together, though, make sure you’ve set up your space so that it’s safe for the both of you. And remember that babies should always be within the arms’ reach of an adult during any kind of play.
