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, flow, and cause-and-effect through hands-on experimentation.
• Scientific Inquiry & Investigation – Encourages children to ask questions, make predictions, test ideas, and evaluate outcomes.
• Early Physics Exploration – Develops understanding of forces, movement, energy transfer, and how materials influence motion.
• Material Science Discovery – Helps children investigate the unique properties of water, sand, and other materials through comparison and observation.
• Cause & Effect Understanding – Supports exploration of how actions produce observable results through repeated experimentation.
• Observation & Critical Thinking Skills – Strengthens children's ability to notice patterns, compare results, and draw conclusions from their investigations.
• Engineering & Design Concepts – Introduces simple machine principles as children explore how funnels, wheels, and moving materials interact.
• Sensory and Exploratory Play – Encourages hands-on investigation of textures, weights, flow rates, and movement.
• Fine Motor Development – Strengthens hand-eye coordination through pouring, scooping, and manipulating materials.
