We have had a lot of rain in the past 3 weeks, Over the course of the first very rainy week, we lost all 4 of our outdoor container pond fish. It was very sad for us all, so we are taking a break for fish. I disinfected the sand box that I was using for the fish pond to get it ready to be used to play in again. I have it all set up in our water play area of our outdoor play environment now. Our outdoor water play area is basically a little cove of water tables, a toy kitchen, a sand box and sand table, some shelving, and such. We use each one for something different. I make them into all sorts of water sensory bins. The white shelving is used for science play and also water play, mixing, pouring, sifting, etc.

Your pictures are absolutely adorable!!! I love all the water activities for the kid to enjoy. I recently posted pictures of my 2 enjoying an Island Escape with me Down the Islands, Trinidad. You should check it out.
