The falling water action from this Waterwheel Play Table encourages creative exploration with cause and effect learning. This imaginative water play center encourages hours of outdoor fun. Pour water into the wide funnel, and activate the water wheel which then spills into the inner and outer harbors. Two molded-in sections function as canals, boats, lakes, harbors and more.

Questions & Answers
Question : How can I help my toddler when other toddlers are aggressive toward him?
My three-year-old son has Down Syndrome. He has always been small for his age. Most people assume that he's 18 months old. His doctors haven't figured out why he is so small. His thyroid is fine, and he eats a lot, but he gains weight very slowly. He is the smallest kid in his preschool class, and he doesn't communicate as well as his classmates. He only says 1-2 words at a time. He has two best friends in his class, and he gets along really well with his other classmates. I worry about how other kids (outside of school) treat him. Last night I took him to a family Christmas party. My cousin's two-year-old is bigger than my son. Her son was in a bad mood the entire time. He kept trying to push my son. He intentionally bumped into my son every time he walked by (There was plenty of open floor space, but the child would walk right up to my son and bump him. He growled at my son every time). He also pushed a door into my son's face (I tried to move my son out of the way, but my son still got hit). My cousin yelled at her son, but he didn't seem to hear her or he ignored her. I took my son to the other side of the room (to keep him away from the other boy). My parents were confused about why I wouldn't let my son run around. I made up an excuse ("I don't want him to get into anything"). I didn't want to say out loud in front of everyone that I was trying to protect him from the other boy. Then the other boy approached my son and pushed a car toward him. When my son reached for the car, the boy stood up and elbowed my son in the face. My cousin yelled at her son, but he didn't hear her or he ignored her. I thought about leaving the party early, but after that my son stayed away from the boy, and my cousin left with her son. My son won't stand up for himself. He'll let other kids take his toys or hurt him. At a different family event, another toddler kept trying to pull my son's hair. The kid succeeded once. My son just cried. I ended up having to hold him the entire time to prevent the other toddler from pulling his hair...I don't know how to teach my son to be assertive or protect himself. What should I do if the other parent is present, but they aren't stopping their child's aggressive behavior?
Answer:
Ahh, I'm so sorry that others treat him like that! There is a girl in my school who has down syndrome and she is so nice, but others treat her horribly! How old is your son? If he can talk then you got to teach him how to say "Please stop"! Don't teach him how to be rude! Teach him how to walk away when a kid is mean to him! If he learns to walk away, then the other kids will wonder why he's leaving and it will bother them that he's leaving, so they will either be nice, or give up! I hope that I helped!

Question : Too young for toddler preschool?
My son, who will be 19 months next week, is slated to begin "preschool for toddlers" this Wednesday. He will go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30AM to 11:30PM. He will have a morning snack there. Today, I visited the classroom with Kristof. I observed the activities and Kristof as he roamed around, getting into toys. Here is my dilemma: Kristof is the youngest child in the class. The other kids are between 20 month and 2 years. The activities that the teacher plans are for older toddlers. An example is "circle time", "the color match game", etc. My son had none of it. He did not want to sit in the circle or sing about matching colors. All of the other children complied while Kristof explored. I'm afraid that he will be the "odd kid out" since he can't talk or communicate on the level of the other children. After about 20 minutes, he did follow the group around as they did more activities. He even went up and hugged one of the little girls. He tried hugging a little boy and the boy thought he was trying to hit him so he got pushed. The teacher said that all of his behavior is normal and not to worry. The director and the teacher think that my son's participation in the class will help develop his speech and social skills in general. I agree that this is all possible. But, I fear that he may get hurt or picked on. What if he puts something in his mouth and chokes on it because the teacher did not see him? What if he has a tantrum and the teacher gets mad at him? I have to admit that I am having separation anxiety too. Should I bite the bullet and enroll him, or should I wait until he starts talking?

Question : Toddler don't participate much in preschool activities.?
My son just turned 33 months old. He started preschoo/daycare few weeks back. He is my only child and he never been to daycare before. He goes 9-12 to the preschool. My son don't participate in much actitivies besides singing or listening story. He won't do painting or puzzles etc. He would play with other toys while other kids are busy. He say lots of three words but not really conversation like. He still blabbers when he wants to say long sentence or conversation. He understand what we tells him. He is slightly delay in his speech but he is catching up specially after this school enrollment. My concern is how do I encourage him to participate in other activities so his motor and cognitive skills improve.Thank you.
Answer:
This is pretty normal for an only child who is first starting preschool. Is there a mother's group or something that you can go to? It would probably be benificial for him to play with other kids while you are there as well, just as a bit of a security. This would help ease him into daycare. It can be a bit hard for kids to jump straight into playing and interacting with other children if they are a bit shy.Just take it slow, he'll get more confident.

Question : How many BIG toys does your toddler/preschool aged child have?
By big toys I mean bigger things like Little Tikes type things (work bench, desk, slide, outside play structure, cozy coupe etc). We have one desk, easel, sand box and slide that is about 18", (it's meant for under 24 months, after this summer we'll need to get rid of it), and my husband thinks that is too much. We have more than one child playing on/in all this stuff, and my parents (and his) were wanting to buy little tikes toys for them to climb/play on and my husband thinks that will imply they are spoiled. We have a large yard & inside play area to support having more toys, but my husband is objecting to having more. Is his opinion right that anymore would indicate they have too much? What do you have?
Answer:
Sand box.. Swing set.. Easel.. A few ride on toys.. One of those things you blow up and put balls inside of too.. I personally think "big toys" are great to help keep children active.. I couldn't tell you how many hours my children have spent pedaling their toys or swinging.

Question : Toddler playing with guns?
My 2 1/2 yr old wants to play with gun toys. I'm not sure how he developed an interest in them (he watches only non-violent cartoons like Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, etc). Perhaps he picked it up from a kid at his daycare/preschool. Anyway, he makes guns out of anything -- he'll hold an L-shaped puzzle piece as a gun and say "bang bang" for example.Now that it is summer, and hot outside, some of the neighborhood kids are playing with water guns...My son desperately wants to participate, but I am uncertain as to how I feel about it all. One one hand, I don't want to promote violence or make him think its okay to use weapons against other kids... On the other hand, its just water!! Parents -- do you let your kids play with water guns or toy guns? Why or why not? I just don't know what to do about this situation with my toddler.
Answer:
I don't see anything wrong with it, especially water guns in the summer. It can help build imagination. He's only 2 1/2, so he might not understand, but make sure you talk to him about the dangers real guns impose and that toy guns are fine, but real guns are not. If you guys keep a gun in the house for hunting/protection, make sure it's locked up where he has no chance of getting it, of course. It doesn't hurt to let him play with toy guns, but as he gets older, talking to him about the dangers a real gun can have will help make him aware that some things you just don't play with.We played with guns when we were kids and didn't grow up to be homicidal, LOL. My dad had a rifle he kept locked up, and we knew about it but never touched it because my parents told us it was real and it can hurt/kill others.

Answer:
by sandy cMember since: July 25, 2007Total points: 130 (Level 1)i actually copied this my answer to another question. so some of the tense may not apply. but the context is applicable for you.i am a preschool teacher. but before i was, i was a parent of a first child with the desires to have the smartest kid ready for kindergarten. (i was so naive in my thinking). so i know where these parents are coming from. now i know that 3 year olds do not learn a lot from worksheets. they learn the most from play. tell your parents that their homework it TO PLAY WITH THEIR CHILD.1. build with blocks - it will develop control of small muscles. it will increase perceptions of weight, size, shape (math skills). it will help them learn cooperation and planning.2. do art activities. they will learn to make choices, interact with a variety of materials, and learn to be creative and self - expressive. remind the parents that the process is more important than the product. it will help develop vocabulary, as the materials are described as: rough, soft, smooth, colorful, etc. also develops fine motor skills.3. books. read, read, read to your child. they will learn that print goes from top to bottom and left to right. listening, paying attention, sequencing and thinking skills are all being used. new vocabulary words are learned.4. play house and kitchen. the children will learn to use their imaginations and "try out" various roles from the adult world. it will develop their social skills.5. puzzles and games. controlled movement of the fingers and hands enable children to master the muscles necessary for writing. working with colors and patterns help children to develop visual discrimination and memory.6. science and math. count shells, sort leaves by size or shape, classify rocks, etc. ask questions - how are these alike, different; is this bigger, smaller?7. take them to the park or play in the backyard. this develops large motor skills, and gives the child confidence.just PLAY with your child. they are learning so much.worksheets and forced projects that don't really interest the child makes them bored, disinterested, and frustrated if they feel they cannont perform the task right. that is not a good beginning to enjoying school.since you are a teacher of english as a second language, the more the parent interacts with the child in english, the faster they will learn the language. also, i really believe sesame street is a wonderful show for children to learn the language.hope this helps. * 2 seconds ago * - Edit * - Delete

Question : toddler throwing toys at preschool he is 22 months how to stop?
toddler throwing toys at preschool he is 22 months how to stop?
Answer:
NO TOYS, When toys get thrown, toys get taken away.Your child will get the idea very rapidly that the consequence for throwing toys is that the option to play with any toys disappears. It must be a rapid and clear response. Also small foam balls that CAN be tossed about should be provided, so the child gets to see what sorts of toys ARE okay to toss around.

I would go to the teacher as a group and ask her if she would speak to the mother.Maybe the mother doesn't know what to do with the child when he acts up.
