Water Play Ideas for Kids

Water Play activities have been a huge hit with my kids for years now.  I have always loved that, no matter the age gap, my kids can always seem to find a way to have fun together during our water activities.  I have 3 children current ages 7yr, 5yr, and 3yr.  I love seeing that they can continue to have fun even as they get older but I am sure this will end sooner than I wish. They just keep growing up so fast.  Water play is a great sensory experience for kids.  Playing in water bins has always been relaxing even to me.  I love coming up with new water play ideas for my kids.  No matter if we are practicing gross motor skills, doing a simple science experiment, or just soaking our feet water play is fun!
