How to Make Easter Baskets

Love what we did? You can recreate our Rain Showers & Unicorns Water Table™ Easter basket for your little one!

Just fill the water table with some colorful Easter grass or crinkle paper and arrange your toys and candy—this Easter basket will be a magical memory on so many levels!

Water Tables Help Build Cognitive Skills

Water tables are a great way to have fun while building important skills. As children splash in the water, they engage several senses at once, such as sight, sound, texture, and temperature. They also learn several STEM concepts as they watch the water pour through the top-tier rainfall maker, fill and spill the bucket, and work its way through the interchangeable maze pieces.

Fun Way to Develop Language and Social Skills

Your little one can build important social skills, such as taking turns and sharing, when they play with their siblings or friends. They can take turns building the maze, pouring water through the top waterfall tray, and role playing with the unicorn toys.

As they play, they’ll learn new words, such as pour, spill, maze, and more. Role playing is also a great way to engage their imaginations and express themselves in new and creative ways—plus, it’s incredibly cute for parents to watch!

Master Physical and Motor Skills

Pouring, splashing, and building are all super fun for children—but even more importantly, these tasks are helping them master physical dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Squeezing the toys and using their pincer grasps allows children to practice their fine motor skills as well.
