Bath time games

Place a tub on one side of the bath and challenge them to move water from the bath to the tub, using only their hands. Observe if they can create a bowl shape using their palms to hold the water. You can also show them how to do this if they are struggling. You can make this easier with a large tub, or more difficult with several smaller tubs!
