⚠ Safety · Stay within arm's reach
Use only a little cold water in plastic cups. Wipe spills straight away so nobody slips.
Stop if:
- Water is on the floor
- Your child starts to drink from a shared cup
Easier
Pour from a cup into a big bowl.
Harder
Pour exactly to a line drawn on the cup.
Only 5 minutes?
Pour three times.
Why it matters: Pouring builds steady hands and careful control.
Clean-up: Pour the water on a plant. Hang the towel up.
