The sand pool is a playground that children love, and it is also a children's yearning for the beach. Every time the sand pool activity, the child's mood is particularly passionate. But when playing with the sand pool, the children have a big regret, that is, the sand pool is very inconvenient to transport water, and the children want to have a beach with water. To this end, the children began their exploration of building a sand pond canal.
The idea of "drinking water into the sand pool" is the common wish of all children, in the beginning, the teacher organized the children to collect a variety of different materials, such as: milk powder cans, small buckets, water pipes to carry water carts, etc., but these materials need to be transported a little bit by hand, and their time to play with sand has become very small! So they designed the canal for the second time, this time the children first designed the route of the canal and imagined the materials needed.
When all the preparations were done, the children began to build aqueducts in the sand pond. At first, the toddlers used a PU tube to set up a pipe, but because the edge of the sand pool was very high, the water flowed backwards, so they found a supporting shelf and put it on the PU tube. In a pipe connected to a pipe, at first the children just built a water canal, and then because the sand pond is relatively large, the children thought of diverting the water to where they wanted, so the children began to dig out a small canal in the sand pool.
After some effort, the children injected a lot of water into the sand pool, and after using the mixture of water and sand, they used various molds to shape different buildings, some were building castles, some were shaping boats, small animals, and some young children were using the canals to do some interesting situational games. In this way, the children played in the sand pool and enjoyed it.
