How To Play

Sensory at its finest for a baby. So many new and interesting textures. From the coldness of the cucumbers to their taste. This activity is tons of fun anytime water is involved, for most babies. If the bowl or tray is large enough to place the baby into, that’s a plus. If not, place baby close enough their able to reach in freely to grab the cucumbers. Let them splash, throw and taste away.
