Water Absorption Science Sensory Play

I offered this up as an invitation to explore, discover, and play! This simple water absorption activity makes both a great together play time and an independent play activity as well. Water activities are easy to set it up while you are busy in the kitchen! We like to talk about our science activities while he experiments. Ask questions, make messes, experiment with ideas! Encourage your child to explore his or her thoughts instead of directing him or her step by step. If he needs a little motivation, model what can be done with the eye droppers and cotton balls, but listen to his reactions! I always like to sit back and hear what he has to say about what he sees.

We used lots of fine motor skills for our water absorption science activity. I added a set of tongs as well. He used the tongs to grab cotton balls and enjoyed trying out the variety of eye droppers we have collected. I told him that these were his science tools! Feel free to add a magnifying glass too!

A simple water absorption science activity with loads of great fine motor practice!
