Help your pre-schooler explore early maths and problem solving through playful investigation.

Sink or Float is a fun hands-on activity that encourages children to make predictions before testing whether different objects will sink or float. As children experiment, they'll practise comparing objects, talking about what they notice and thinking about whether their predictions were correct, building early reasoning and problem-solving skills through play.

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. The activity is designed to be flexible. Simply fill a bowl or container with water and test a selection of safe, everyday objects you already have at home.
