Скачать или смотреть Easy Water Fountain Experiment for Toddlers | Fun STEM Activity for Early Years

At this morning’s Toddler and Early Years STEM session, we explored a simple and exciting water fountain science activity — perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and EYFS learning.

This easy STEM experiment uses everyday materials and is ideal for supporting curiosity, problem‑solving, cause and effect, and early science skills.

How to Make a Toddler‑Friendly Water Fountain
You’ll need:

a plastic bottle

a bendy straw

coloured water

a balloon

Make a small hole in the middle of the bottle and push the bendy straw through. Fill the bottle with coloured water to just below halfway. Blow up a balloon, stretch it over the top of the bottle, and watch as the air pressure pushes the water out through the straw like a fountain.

This hands‑on activity is brilliant for:

STEM in the Early Years

EYFS Understanding the World

Simple science for toddlers

Sensory play and exploration

Learning about air pressure and movement
