20 Activities Using Water: Kid's Co-op

My kids LOVE playing with water.  And I love that it's nontoxic, entertaining, and free!  The last two Kid's Co-op link parties were full of fun and educational ways to use water:



CREATE:
These clever moms have used water and a few other simple materials to help their kids create beautiful art.

Creating colorful icicles at Housing a Forest

Painting with ice cubes at Princesses, Pies, & Preschool Pizzazz

LEARN:
These posts are great examples of how fun and learning can take place without anything fancy.

PLAY:
I love these ideas for educational ways to have fun with water.

And here are some of our favorite activities with water playing the starring role:

Ice letter hunt
Disappearing letters

I Spy snow globes
Snow spray paint
Making bath time more fun
Cloud experiment

I've pinned these to the Kid's Co-op Pinterest Board (and you can find a featured button on my buttons page if you'd like one.)

Thanks so much to everybody who linked up last week!  Can't wait to see what you've got this week!
