Help your pre-schooler explore capacity through pouring, filling and imaginative potion play.

Potion Kitchen introduces early measurement through one of the simplest kinds of sensory play: filling, pouring and mixing. Using cups, bowls, jugs and bottles, your child can create pretend potions while noticing which containers hold more or less and using words such as full, empty, more and less. Pouring between different containers makes capacity visible and meaningful.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Use containers and pouring tools you already have at home, then encourage predictions, comparisons or imaginative recipes using coloured water and optional natural materials.
