In 1976, the two Swedes Britt and Lennart Dahlgren, a pedagogue & an engineer, started to work with different prototypes to build water canal systems that introduced children to the element of water through play. Now produced in Germany, Aquaplay is the Original Award-Winning Water Canal System developed by educational specialists to help children explore the physics of water – while having fun! The AquaPlay Sets are modular and offer children endless opportunities to create their very own AquaPlay World: Set the water in motion with the paddlewheel and watch the little boats bob along the waves created through the canal. Reverse the cranking direction and the boats will move backwards. How does water lift, move, and climb?
