Art
- The 1-year-old developed sensory awareness by exploring the texture and movement of water with their hands and objects.
- They practiced cause and effect by observing how their actions affected the water, such as creating ripples or splashes.
- The child engaged in imaginative play by using the water as a canvas, "painting" with their hands or toys.
- They experienced color mixing as they observed how different colored objects looked when placed in the water.
For continued development, consider adding food coloring to the water for exploring color mixing and providing various shaped containers or objects for different pouring and scooping experiences.
