Students will explore cause and effect as they observe water marks appear and then fade, reinforcing concepts of evaporation and material properties. The mat encourages creative expression, pattern recognition, and pre-writing mark making. It also provides a calm, sensory-rich activity that can be used to support focus and self-regulation in early learning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis product is designed for Early Years (Foundation) and Year 1 students in primary school settings.
