Funnel Set - Pack of 9

Children love a good sand and water play set up so why not transform your sand and water play into a hands-on learning adventure with our set of 9 clear funnels. With three different sizes (8cm, 14cm, and 18cm diameter), these funnels are perfect for pouring, channeling, and experimenting with water, play sand, and other materials in a sand and water play table or outdoor water play setup.

Clear plastic allows children to see the flow of materials, making these funnels a fantastic tool for EYFS and primary science exploration. Watch as water swirls through, play sand trickles down, or even try mixing materials to see how they behave. This set encourages problem-solving, fine motor development, and early physics concepts like gravity and flow rate.

Ideal for water play tables, sand pits, and mud kitchens, these durable funnels are great for messy experiments and creative play. Whether attached to a children’s sand and water table for an impromptu water system or used in a sand and water tray for sorting and transferring, they add excitement to sensory and STEM/STEAM activities.

Pair them with a wooden sand and water table or a water wall for endless exploration. Just add water (or sand, or slime… the possibilities are endless)!

Features

• Set of 9 Funnels: Includes three different sizes (8cm, 14cm, and 18cm diameter), providing a variety of options for pouring and experimenting in sand and water play.
• Clear Plastic Design: Allows children to see liquids, play sand, and other materials flow through, enhancing visual learning and scientific exploration.
• Durable & Lightweight: Made from sturdy plastic, these funnels can withstand outdoor water play and repeated use in sand and water tables.
• Versatile for Multiple Uses: Ideal for water play tables, mud kitchens, sand pits, and messy play, supporting a range of sensory and STEM/STEAM activities.
• Easy to Handle: Designed for EYFS and primary settings, these funnels fit comfortably in small hands, encouraging independent pouring, measuring, and transferring.

Benefits

• Fine Motor Development: Pouring and transferring materials through the funnels helps strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination, essential for writing and tool use.
• Early Science Exploration: Watching how water, play sand, or other materials flow through different funnel sizes introduces concepts like gravity, flow rate, and cause and effect.
• Problem-Solving & Experimentation: Encourages trial and error as children figure out which materials pass through the funnels best and how to control the flow.
• Sensory Play & Exploration: Using funnels in a sand and water play table or sand and water tray provides hands-on experiences with different textures, weights, and movement.
• Mathematical Thinking: Experimenting with sand and water play teaches early maths concepts like volume, measurement, and capacity in a practical, engaging way.
