Cognitive Development
Knowledge Acquisition
Using the watering can to make the snail pop up and create change teaches cause-and-effect. It also demonstrates important STEM principles, including full and empty, the power of water, and the process of tools and systems.
Curiosity
When your child pours water into the flower, it causes the snail to pop up which ignites their curiosity. It pushes them further to try to understand how and why things work as they do.
Imagination & Creativity
Watering the flower introduces a whole world of pretend play. Play peek-a-boo with the friendly snail and interact with it, and ask it questions.
Physical Development
Gross Motor Skills
In order to water the flower, your child will need to fully raise their arms, thus strengthening gross motor skills.
Coordination
The act of tipping the watering can and purposefully aiming it into the correct opening develops your child’s hand-eye coordination.
Social & Emotional Development
Communication
Make up a story about the snail. Share nursery rhymes like “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Ask your child what other plants they want to grow in their garden.
Cooperation & SharingPouring water out of the watering can and setting off the flower’s chain reaction is a perfect opportunity to model sharing a toy and taking turns – either with you or with a sibling or friend. “First it’s my turn to water the flower. Now it’s your turn."
