Provide toys and small shovels or sturdy spoons for the children to dig holes in the sandbox. Bury small toys in the sand and encourage the children to dig to find them. Use spray bottles filled with water and have the children spray water onto the sand. Describe the changes in the sand as the children spray more and more water. Introduce the concepts of “wet” and “dry.”
