Marble Jets

| Suggestion |
Allow your child to chase the water jets and encourage the child to try and jump on the water. Ask where the water went and where the child thinks the water will appear next. |
| Concept |
The toddler anticipates where and when the marbles of water will jump from below the vents.

| Fact |
Between 18 and 24 months, toddlers will search for a hidden object such as the water, certain that it exists somewhere. This belief that an object still exists when out of sight is called object permanence. |
