Maybe the picture books "Wieso? Weshalb? Warum? Technik im Haus" und „Wieso? Weshalb? Warum? Auf der Baustelle".

 

 

Steps:

1.      Exploring the water supply in kindergarten, in addition maybe picture books.

2.      Building of washbasins, which are connected with water pipelines: Selection of the materials, necessary drillings; Connection of the bowls with the water hoses: After the bowls are perforated the nursery school teacher will probably have to after-scarfe the drilling openings with a lighter, so that the hole is even and the plastic hose fits exactly.
