Learning Skills

As your child sprays using the various accessories, they create differing water effects. The same action creating diverse results exposes your child to a more complex principle of cause and effect.

Knowledge Acquisition

The various FunElefun accessories demonstrate the power of water as well as basic principles of physics, with the water’s ability to create movement and speed. Your child will see this unfold as the stream running through it pushes objects with its force.

Curiosity

The friendly elephant is a beloved character with a story and personality that ignites your child’s curiosity. Each time a different accessory is attached, the spray and persona changes slightly, and that variation continues to nurture a deeper curiosity.

Fine Motor Skills

Designed especially for little hands, assembling the different FunElefun parts and collecting the water in the funnel is a great opportunity to develop your child’s fine motor skills, strengthening manual dexterity.

Senses

The various sensations of the different spraying effects create a multi-sensory experience. Ask your child, “What sound is the water making now?” Or have them feel the differences between the varied flows.

Coordination

Hanging the elephant on the hook requires both hands and teaches limb movement coordination. Aiming the stream in a particular direction or at other objects improves hand-eye coordination.

Self-Expression

The lovable elephant encourages self-expression. At around 18 months, your child will start to want to do everything by themselves. Bathing themselves “independently” with FunElefun and under your watchful eye will nurture that.

Communication

Playing with the Funelefun presents an opportunity to use diverse words to communicate and explain or describe actions. Expand your child’s vocabulary with words like strong and soft to describe water flow, or words like spraying and trickling.

Confidence

For toddlers, every little win is a huge confidence boost, and the spout offers many simple accomplishments that were developed for their precise abilities – from aiming the water stream and ‘catching’ it with the tumblers, to stacking the cups.
