Continued Development Tip: Encourage the child to create their own mini-aquarium using a glass bowl or container. They can gather small rocks, plants, and toy fish to create their own underwater world. This can be a great opportunity for them to observe and learn more about the concepts they have already explored. They can also keep a journal to document their observations and draw pictures of their mini-aquarium.
