You will need a small bowl of sand for each child and spray bottles of water. Have the children explore and observe the dry sand in the bowl. Use the water bottle to spray the sand and have the children continue to explore. Ask the children to describe what is happening to the sand as it gets wetter. Demonstrate how the water makes the sand more moldable.
