Play idea: Shipping with Stapelstein®

Research, Experiment, and Fine motor skills

Anleitung

For this game, each child chooses any Stapelstein® Inside element as a ship. The goal is to let the ship swim to the other side of the bathtub, a swimming pool, or a tub of water through self-generated waves. Do all the ships arrive at the same time? Where do the waves drive the ships? How do the ships move in low and high waves?

Varianten

Ride with load

In this variant, the ships are loaded with different things, such as another Inside element, water beads, marbles, or a wet washcloth. Now you can observe whether and how the swimming and driving behavior of the ships changes.

Wave motion

With what, besides your hands, can you create waves that propel your ship forward?
