I can just imagine the thrill children get by watching the water flow out of a big pail outside as it moves and disperses.Tom Bedardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427750320077815023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096897291661942250.post-17460073027800292382012-01-28T21:02:01.559-06:002012-01-28T21:02:01.559-06:00Kristin, I was actually surprised how well it work...Kristin, I was actually surprised how well it worked the very first time I asked a child to "put it in the bucket" after he hand dumped some sand on the floor. Children are not trying to be bad when they dump on the floor. I think it has to do with what Juliet alluded to that children are into cause and effect. Anyway, the pellets are fuel pellets made from wood. They are used in Minnesota in pellets stoves for heating. A medium that has many of the same properties is whole feed corn.Tom Bedardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427750320077815023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096897291661942250.post-61892670155366681352012-01-28T20:55:30.146-06:002012-01-28T20:55:30.146-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tom Bedardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427750320077815023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096897291661942250.post-35315764784536727882012-01-28T19:39:31.102-06:002012-01-28T19:39:31.102-06:00So simple, yet so effective.

Mine are very into cause and effect so what goes in, will be tipped out. <br /><br />Thanks for another super post Tom.Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.com
