Natural Water Play Experience created by Nigel Wells
Long overdue is some form of interactive Flowform for schools. Water play is currently restricted to plastic bins with tools to pass water about, nothing on the delights of experimenting with water movement, patterns and the structure of the most abundant substance on earth.
I first saw these stones a couple of years ago and got quite excited by the development. Simple and low tec, requiring little but imagination. The idea is to lay the stones out and working from the top place the stones top to bottom, run water through and adjust to the desired movement then either start again or adjust what you have. It may make a mess but that should be part of water play! They are a great addition to the widely known 'Rocker'.
He now has them cast for sale in the UK and available to all. Ideally suited to the young these have tremendous value for anyone wishing to understand the dynamics of water.
Six piece set sculptured cast stones may be combined to form cascades of naturally moving water.
Ideal for class water play or educational exploration of water movement and associated science.
Suitable for any age (for younger children under supervision, the forms may be heavy for young children and caution is advised when moving).
Average weight of Cast stones are 2.5kg and they are available in 3 colours
and comes complete with a great hand crafted wooden storage box of solid Oak on castors.

If any school in London or South East may be interested I may have a set of Flowform stones to try out in return for a write-up. Let me know, Laurence

ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how to order the interactive flow form for children. I'm in a pre-school/kindergarten'grade school inthe US. With shipping the cost may likely be prohibitive. If so, have you any ideas for those of us "across the pond"? If so, might you have plans or patterns available perhaps?
