Chic Cascading Water Stands with Trays

Our Chic Cascading Water Stands & Trays bring joy, wonder, and more splashes than a summer storm to any setting. Specially designed to add excitement and hands on STEM learning to any classroom or outdoor play space, these stands invite children aged 3+ (with supervision) to dive into the wonders of water flow, teamwork, and creative play. With all the right extras (funnels, pipes, taps, and stands) this setup will inspire early years learners to explore cause and effect, problem solving, and even a little hydrodynamic engineering!

The large stand gives plenty of room for children to pour, splash, and experiment with water, while the cascading design means the fun flows naturally from one level to the next. Place this station near a storage station of potion play sets and water play sets, and watch the kids flock to it with all their water toys in tow. They’ll soon be guiding boats and rubber ducks down the channels, celebrating every twist and turn. Or, amp up the fun by adding some guttering play components to extend the channels and create a real mini river network.

With taps and trays that let children control the flow, they’ll discover a world of STEM thinking right at their fingertips, experimenting with how water behaves, how gravity works, and what happens when they open or close a tap. It’s a fascinating, teamwork building experience that encourages curiosity, collaboration, and creativity; all through the irresistible fun of water play! 

Features

• Multiple Levels of Play: With two water stands and three trays, this set allows water to cascade from level to level, sparking excitement and opportunities for hands-on STEM activities. 
• Durable and Ready for Action: These stands are made to withstand all the splashing, scooping, and pouring that active early years learners can throw at them. 
• Exciting Funnels and Taps Included: Equipped with funnels, pipes, and two easy-turn taps, this set opens the door to water management fun. Learners can control the flow, redirect water between trays, and try out ideas in real-time as they create their own little rivers and lakes.
• Ideal Dimensions for Group Play: With the large stand measuring H60x L180x W58cm, this water play station offers ample space for collaborative exploration. Designed with the needs of EYFS settings in mind, the trays are just the right size for small hands to access and explore.

Benefits

• Encourages Teamwork and Social Skills: Learners can gather around, share ideas, and work together to create the perfect water flow setup. This collaborative play promotes social interaction and communication, crucial for early development.
• Enhances Problem-Solving Skills: Water play is ideal for STEM-based learning, as learners work out how to direct water flow, use the taps to control movement, and explore how different angles impact speed. It's all hands-on, real-world problem-solving!
• Supports Sensory Exploration: Water play is an excellent way to support sensory learning, as learners engage with different water speeds, volumes, and flows. The tactile sensation of water pouring over their hands adds a calming element to this learning activity.
• Promotes Creativity in Play: With funnels, taps, and cascading trays, learners can imagine themselves as scientists, sailors, or engineers. This open-ended design lets them invent their own games and scenarios, providing a creative outlet during playtime.
• Ideal for Early STEM Learning: The water stands foster early STEM concepts like gravity, flow, and volume, making science and engineering concepts accessible and fun. Every splash, redirect, and cascading moment builds foundational knowledge for young minds.
