Pools in Educational Toys Most children like to play in the water. Playing in the water can be educational by teaching them many things while having fun. In the summer, it is fun for them to be at the lake but it only last for a short time and the weather changes so no more water for them. Try enrolling them into a pool class at the YMCA or maybe the area school will have one. Sometimes motels will rent out their pools for entertainment during the winter. Check different place to get the right price and class or just for having family fun. Great exercise for all of you. Pools can be enjoyment, teach them responsibility by being there on time for every class, and a fun way to learn new skills. Being in the water will help your child focus on balance while they are walking around. Walking in the water alone takes balance because it takes the weight resistance off your feet. Balance is a big step when the children are first learning to be in the water. Play games with them in the water as a family entertainment. Being able to balance and throw a ball at the same time takes balance and they have to focus on doing two things at one time. Walk at a fast pace across the pool as a family to see who can get back to their side first. Walking is good for all of us and being in the water will strengthen their muscles at the same time; of course they want to win so they are going to want be on the move fast.
