Double Sand and Water Wheel

The Double Sand and Water Wheel is a hands-on, sensory-rich toy that allows children to explore cause-and-effect, motion, and basic physics concepts through pouring water, sand, and other small materials.

With its removable funnel and spinning wheels, children can experiment with different speeds, weights, and textures to discover how materials affect movement.

Measures 20.5 x 16.2 x 29cm.

Ages 18 months+.

Features:

Includes a dual spinning wheel system with removable funnel for versatile experimentation

Can be used with water, fine sand, or small grains for sensory exploration

Transparent design allows children to observe the movement of materials through the wheels

Durable, child-safe materials with smooth edges for safe play

Educational Benefits:

• STEM Learning: Introduces concepts of motion, force, gravity, and cause-and-effect
• Fine Motor Development: Strengthens hand–eye coordination as children pour materials and manipulate the funnel
• Sensory and Exploratory Play: Encourages experimentation with different textures, weights, and flow rates
• Cognitive Skills: Promotes problem-solving, prediction, and observation as children test different materials and pouring techniques
• Early Scientific Thinking: Encourages questioning, hypothesising, and experimenting through trial-and-error
• Supports EYLF Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners by fostering curiosity, experimentation, and discovery
• Links to Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing through active, sensory-rich play
• Encourages Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators as children describe their observations and share findings with peers
