Exploring through hands-on materials will assist students to take in new information through their senses. The sand and water table can also be used as a calming tool. It relaxes the mind and body. Children will have the opportunity to learn math, science, social skills, language development, and creativity. This item is really important for higher-level learning. Sand and water inspire children to work together. They will be predicting, measuring, making patterns, and many other creative ideas. As a teacher, I really want children to focus their thinking. That is why I always ask open-ended questions, such as what can wet sand do that dry sand can't do, how can we make the water turn blue or soapy, and which measuring cup will fill this pitcher up faster? I want my students to have fun, but I also want them to learn while doing so.
