Invitations to explore such as this, aids children to understand capacity & investigate with ideas such as more/less, same/different, many/few, empty/full, before/after, greater than/less than. Not to mention cognitive skills through cause and effect as well as hand eye coordination when manipulating the materials. This type of learning through play by doing the "work", helps their brain engage and create and expand their neural pathways since so many of their skill sets are being used and further developed. Hence why play builds brains. The more children are given opportunities of open ended play such as this the higher their level of thinking will grow and develop along with continuing to build life skills.
