The Fountain water tap is a fantastic play invitation. With its unique universal design it attracts all children in play again and again. The yellow tap only pours water when pushed, and when the child lets go of it, the water stops running, teaching cause and effect to children. It is put at a height where everyone can reach it. Streaming water holds an eternal attraction to children, and when merged with sand, the play experience becomes magical. Pushing the tap and feeling the sensation of water streaming will stimulate children’s thinking skills and their understanding of cause and effect. Furthermore, the tactile stimulation is intense. Merging water with sand will inspire hours of creative play, shaping and building sand, getting to know the changing characteristics of sand when it is dry and when it is wet and can be shaped.
