Tara picked up an item from her bucket and placed it in the water and saw if it floated or sunk then placed it on the correct paper.

Float & Sink
This is a Montessori activity that is great to do in this summer heat! All you need is a large tub filled with water, a box full of waterproof objects from around the house, that your child may want to choose themselves and two laminated A4 sheets that say "float" and "sink" on them.
