Water Pouring Station
Captain A will help you learn: Pouring water between cups and jugs builds coordination and steady hands, and it gives a first feel for ideas like full and empty, floating and sinking, and how water moves.
⚠️ Never leave a young child alone near water, even a shallow amount, as small children can drown quickly; supervise the whole time and mop up spills to stop slips.
Play through the project step by step, with narration read aloud.

Rainbow Rice Rangoli
Children dye rice in bright colours and use it to fill in a rangoli, a pattern traditionally made on the floor at the entrance to a home during Diwali to welcome guests and good luck. They practise fine motor control by pinching and pouring, and explore shapes, colour and patterns that repeat around a centre.
Salt-Dough Diya Lamps
Children shape and paint little diya lamps from salt dough and light them with battery tea lights. Diyas are small clay oil lamps lit during Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, to show light winning over darkness and good over evil. Children also see how baking slowly dries the dough until it is hard.
Bubble Foam Whisking Station
Whisking water and soap into a mountain of foam is fantastic for building arm and wrist strength, and scooping and squishing the fluffy bubbles is a soft, gentle sensory experience for even the littlest players.
