My toddler acted out his swimming lesson using duplo. He built a swimming pool with a step for the children to sit on and a slide. He made mummy the teacher called Karen and he played the children in the lesson. He sang the songs and went through taking turns during the lesson

• Understanding the concept of buoyancy and how it helps objects float in water
• Learning about the importance of safety measures in swimming, such as having a step to sit on and a slide for fun
• Developing an understanding of turn-taking and following instructions during a swimming lesson
• Exploring the properties of water and how it behaves differently when objects are placed in it

For continued development, parents can encourage their child to explore more about water and its properties through sensory play activities such as water play with different objects, ice experiments, and exploring the different states of water (liquid, solid, gas). They can also introduce the concept of water conservation and the importance of taking care of our planet's water resources.
