Not every kiddo is going to love the pool or sea right away, and that’s okay.
Water play can start small. A bucket of water in the backyard, cups and toys in a bin, running through the sprinkler, or simply splashing feet in shallow water can all help your kiddo explore water in a way that feels more comfortable.
Giving kiddos the chance to go at their own pace can help build familiarity and confidence over time, without pressure.
And with World Oceans Day here, it’s a good reminder that meaningful sensory play doesn’t have to be big or complicated to make an impact. 🌊
