Let your imagination flow!
Water and sand are mag(net)ic! What? You don’t believe it? What about the curious attraction of water and sand. Children and paddles, for example, attract each other as strongly as children and the beach; as if pulled by a magnetic force.
At HABA we have developed the water park because water and sand provide endless fun! The tracks can be moved around, over and over again, to make water flow, to retain it and to redirect it. And with the brand new struts water can be guided with daring constructions over different, varying heights. The sand-water-workshop contains everything with which to sieve sand, to construct and create as well as lots of spilling funnel fun– simply magnetizing!
We wish you lots of fun constructing water tracks and spilling sand castles. Yours truly, HABA!
Perfect for sand cake bakers and sand castle constructors!
The majority of the earth's surface is covered by water, to be precise, 71 per cent! 1,386 peta tonnes of the earth are filled with salt water. So can there be a better construction site for the Water Park than the seaside? A beach also supplies another important construction material: sand, sand and nothing but sand!
Let’s stop swimming in theory and get down to wielding the trowel! With the tools of the sand-water-workshop experiments with water and sand will be loads of fun. First sieve some fine sand and then fill the spilling funnel. Add a sip of water with the watering can and off you go: baking sand cakes and garnishing them, spilling sand castles or writing little messages in the sand – what spilling fun! Little sand artists can also draw fine traces in the sand with the hand sand mill.
Sturdy constructors however won’t just spill sand but will do some serious construction with the help of the dinosaur strong digging claw and the digging bucket, that can be used either as a scoop for digging or as a pail for mud. And then there is the caterpillar digger that eager constructors can use to leave deep tracks in the sand.
The extra large HABA Water Park starter set offers even more constructing fun and creative options for little constructors: flexible struts guide the water over different heights. In this way daring constructors can bridge valleys and build slopes. Trenches for the tracks can be dug into the sand with the trowel.
The lawn in the garden is also an exciting laboratory. The test construction set-up can be quite fiddly and won’t stop even at Mum’s flowerpots. The scientific results though are really moving into new territory: Why does water always flow downwards? Adults say it is because of gravity! We say it’s because of the staircase, with its fantastic descent – which obviously, can only be downwards. Step by step the staircase track construction with its small cascades will become an architectural masterpiece. A mill, a barrage and a pond can also become part of the creative arrangements and even natural raw materials can be spontaneously incorporated. The tracks can be joined by tucking in the rubber bands, making it possible to support even free-standing constructions. Tunnel tracks can be made with hose pieces – little architects will constantly invent new constructions and the water will always take a new course!
Even if outside it is raining the tracks offer alternative play possibilities. So why not construct a ball track across your room – tracks, switch points and tunnels are ready for that as well. As the sun comes blinking from behind the clouds, it’s time to head outdoors again. The sand bucket scooter is parked ready to use in the sandpit. After the dry run in the children’s room little constructors will have as many ideas as there are grains of sand at the beach!
